(2) K-3 Illustrated by Elisa Kleven. The authors tell an engaging and accurate history by presenting unique neighborhoods and events in a rich overlay of past and present illustrated with collage paintings that fill each page with an exuberant jumble of detail and pattern. But this is no sentimental journey--earthquakes and fires, Japanese internment camps, and more are told of here. A map and a time line tell more stories of the unique people and places of L.A.
