(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Lester. Cool Daddy Rat, the heppest cat on the New York jazz scene, heads out to play some gigs. After going "an odd way / down Broadway," the daddy discovers a stowaway in his bass case: his son, Ace. The text revels in its jazzy improvisational rhythms without losing sight of the story. Lester's pencil, watercolor, and digital illustrations capture the heavy scene.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
