Cowboy & Octopus

(1) K-3 Illustrated by Lane Smith. There's a new twosome in town--a cowpoke and a cephalopod. Scieszka and Smith cast their unlikely duo in seven vignettes that reveal the ins and outs of friendship. All are simply told, surprisingly fresh, and genuinely funny--with Smith's artfully weathered mixed-media orchestrations pushing the humor level up and up and up. (Octopus dressed as the tooth fairy for Halloween is flat-out hilarious.)
