(3) K-3 Illustrated by Laura Cornell. There's not one false note in our five-year-old narrator's rambunctious, petulant lament that her best friend, Annie Bananie, is moving away. The rhymes are fresh and tight ("Who will feed your porcupine? / Who will swing from your clothesline?"), and Cornell's images of the scampering friends are lively. Best, Komaiko honors the resentment, not just the sadness, that can be felt by those who experience loss.
