(2) K-3 Illustrated by André Amstutz. With a winsome lilt, Ahlberg describes a boy who "caught a Baby / In his Hat" as she was falling from a window. After years of adventures at sea, he comes home to London to find that same baby--now a pretty face, and soon to be his bride. The story is handsomely visualized and intriguingly extended by Amstutz's sweeping gouache illustrations.

(2) PS Illustrated by Andre Amstutz. Amstutz's acrylic illustrations hold center stage here with their lush swatches of color, energetically manipulated perspectives, and clever details. In Ahlberg's minimal story, Mom sets out to do some marketing, accompanied by baby Harry, the family dog, and the young narrator, whose realistic account of the trip segues quickly into fantasy. Familiar formulas abound, but they're well integrated.

(3) PS Illustrated by Andre Amstutz. Published spring 1998. A little monkey steals the zookeeper's keys and escapes from the zoo. After a day full of Curious George-style adventures in town, in the neighbors' house, and at school, Monkey returns to the zoo and to the comfort of his mother's arms. Amstutz's watercolor and ink illustrations add humorous details to Ahlberg's rhyming text.
