(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tedd Arnold. Twenty-three uncomplicated poems are mostly silly, and some are even gross. "Booger Love," for example, gleefully lists the possible uses for a...well, you know. In other poems, a girl finds herself holding a baby brother with a suddenly stinky diaper, aliens play Spaceball, and tooth fairies are no-shows. A cast of pop-eyed children, adults, and animals careen across the pages, extending the sophomoric humor of the poems.
