(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kadir Nelson. Nelson interprets Staines's lyrics with playfulness and personality, as creatures from honeybee to hippopotamus star in a full-scale theatrical production. The showstopper is a foldout spread featuring the cast in a kick line. Nelson's use of detail and perspective in his pencil, oil, and watercolor illustrations is as effective here as in his more somber work. Music for Staines's catchy tune is included.
