(4) K-3 Illustrated by Olga Stern. Edward, a pig, prefers everything very clean and neat, but his compulsive behavior leads to a paint accident while straightening the school art supplies. After a stroke of artistic inspiration, Edward finds he can participate in school and play with friends--and get messy--without worry (there's always a bath). The too-quickly resolved story features childish cartoon illustrations tightly rendered in scratchy colored pencil.
