(3) K-3 Illustrated by Dave McKean. Bonnie comments on the narrator's "crazy hair," and he responds with fanciful descriptions of its many denizens ("...Gorillas leap, / Tigers stalk, / And ground sloths sleep"). Bonnie combs the hair, whereupon "one huge arm" pulls her in. McKean's psychedelically colored illustrations, framed by textured swirls, caverns, and landscapes of hair, are a striking complement to Gaiman's fantastical text.
