(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nathan Hale. After Jeremy claims a "vulchair" ate his homework, his teacher makes a home visit. She enters his "gorvilla" through the "condoor," walks across the "floormingos" and up the "harecase" to his "kangaroom." The forced story line is beside the point; what's really on display are Ryan's comical wordplay and Hale's clever acrylic illustrations, which gleefully capture the absurdity of the text.
