(3) K-3 Illustrated by George Booth. This long-out-of-print book, originally illustrated by Denman Hampson, has been republished with illustrations by New Yorker cartoonist Booth in his trademark sketchy pen-and-ink style. Booth has done a fine job capturing the inspired lunacy of the text, but devoted admirers of the original may feel a sense of betrayal engendered by tampering with childhood memories.
