(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Teague. It's Martian Health Week, and first-grader Nergal is a nervous wreck over Pod 1's upcoming space race, the 100-meteor dash: he is no good at running and fears that he won't do his "martian best." But his parents' no-one's-good-at-everything pep talk convinces him that all he has to do is try. The milieu, snappy language, and funny, sight-gag-filled cartoon illustrations give an old theme fresh juice.
