(3) K-3 Illustrated by Brian Biggs. These eleven poems about beastly characters, from toilet-dwelling crocodiles ("When next you find you have to go, / Look first, and wave, and say 'Hello'") to cat-eating snakes, will spook and delight readers. Rhythmic rhymes and kooky mixed-media illustrations accentuate the poems' surprises. The trade edition is covered with green (fake) fur. A worthy addition to the silly-poetry genre.
