(4) K-3 Illustrated by Eda Kaban. Instead of causing destruction, a bevy of (invented) superheroes redirects its unhappiness to more constructive pursuits: "They burn angry steam off with speed-of-light hiking / or super-Xtreme outer space mountain biking." Some of the rhymes could use a super-mechanic, but the anger-management angle is inspired. Kaban's digitally created cast and settings have the look of animated cartoons.
