(2) K-3 Translated by Laura Watkinson. The characters from Roger Is Reading a Book are bicycling to a day of fishing. In successive spreads, the trio passes pedestrians and Emily snags something from each: "ROGER! ROGER! I've got a bite..." They all make chase, and eventually everyone ends up in the river. The combination of careful composition and slapstick hilarity lets readers enjoy the outing as much as the characters (at least Emily and Bob) do.

(2) K-3 Translated by Laura Watkinson. "Quiet. Roger is reading." A disturbing "BOING BOING" emanates from the other side of his cozy apartment's wall as next-door-neighbor-girl Emily bounces her ball. Roger retaliates, banging on the wall; noise amps up while neighborliness dissipates. Ultimately Roger gives Emily her own book. Showcased on white or off-white backgrounds, the illustrations feature bursts of patchy color and abstract linework that artistically depict sound.
