(2) K-3 Illustrated by Bruce Ingman. This collection of short poems, some new, some recycled, is unified by Ingman's creation of a friendly little town of row-houses where children and witches, dancing sausages and animated bathtubs live in (mostly) genial coexistence. Ahlberg's naughtiness and pinches of melancholy pair with Ingman's homely line drawings to keep the whole thing safely on the wry side of cute.
