(2) K-3 Illustrated by Ashley Belote. ...three recipes for slime are appended. Still reading? Those who love the gluey, gooey stuff--such as young lab coat–clad protagonist Victoria Franken--will thrill to this story of scientific curiosity, creativity, and a sentient, slime-ient experiment. Locally famous for her viscous creations--varieties of which include rainbow cloud, intergalactic space, and ketchup--Victoria, assisted by bespectacled canine Igor, unintentionally brings one to life. "IT'S ALIVE!" shouts the text, as Victoria and Igor flee in terror. Turns out, however, the creature is a friiiiend--and also a fellow scientist. With its lively, science-y text and pore-over-able cartoony illustrations (including LOL-worthy endpapers), this picture book, with its welcome brown-skinned-science-grrl protagonist, will stick with readers.
