(2) K-3 Illustrated by Boris Kulikov. Krull and Brewer's playful rhyming text presents Joseph Pujol, a Moulin Rouge performer renowned for "blasting out tunes from his own derriere." Kulikov's mixed-media paintings convey the gaiety of turn-of-the-century Parisian theater and put forth creative representations--firework-style blasts, heart-shaped clouds--of Pujol's gaseous emissions. The audience first looks at Pujol in wide-eyed astonishment, then laughs uproariously--a response likely to be shared by readers. Bib.
