"Here is the traffic, all ground to a halt, / and the policeman calls out... / 'What's causing this holdup?'" The vehicles may be at a standstill, but the rhythmic text motors along as the officer investigates the problem. Bee's stylish compositions have a distinctly sixties vibe; the pages practically vibrate with eye-popping colors held in place with a lively, sure-handed line.
