(4) K-3 Illustrated by Macky Pamintuan. Young Alfred Zector nabs every last book in town, leaving the place "quite dullish, plain dreary, and wholly humdrum." Upon completing his collection, an aged Alfred asks, "Now what?" and predictably realizes that something's missing. The lively illustrations make palatable a familiar lesson: "The best kinds of books are the books that are shared."
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
