(2) K-3 Translated by Elisa Amado. Each letter in this inventive abecedary begins a word, and each associated image seems like the beginning of a story: for A, handwritten text reads "THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER"; spare mixed-media art depicts a bird flying away while a dog barks in its direction. The reader is invited to connect each featured letter with the text, then to consider the interdependence of text and illustration.
