(3) K-3 Illustrated by Dan Krall. Fed up with Mom's talk of manners, a girl considers swapping places with animals whose standards of behavior are looser. After contemplating the various creatures' pros and cons, monster manners (or lack thereof) win out. In this humorous challenge to parental authority, the parent-mocking speech-bubble text will have kids laughing out loud. Boldly colored digital illustrations work well with the silly scenarios.
