(3) K-3 Illustrated by George Rodrigue. "Hello. My name is George and I am an artist." So begins this cheerful yet edgy meditation on why Rodrigue, who has been creating the familiar Blue Dog image since the 1980s, always paints his subject blue. Before he reaches his satisfying conclusion, a series of funny question-and-answer pairs ("What color do I paint Blue Dog when I go fishing? / salmon") allows readers to see the famous canine in different hues.
