(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dimitrea Tokunbo. When his mother tells him she's arranged for reading lessons, a Nigerian boy named Amadi replies, "I'll be a trader. I don't need to read to do business." Later that day he glimpses another world between the covers of a book and realizes magic awaits. Though the story is message-heavy, Amadi's mischief-making, along with varied earth-tone paintings, give it energy.
