And What If I Won't?

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Qin Leng. When Mom asks Benny to clear his plate, his reply--"What would you do if I said no?"--prompts a conversational tennis match ("I'd tell you that..."; "What would you do if...?"). Fergus gets the mom right: she engages Benny without indulging him. Leng keeps up with the fantasy ("I'd send you to the moon!") if not the characters' emotional responses.
