(4) K-3 Illustrated by Laura K. Horton. Albert is the only gnome who can't grow facial hair, hence he can't participate in the annual Beards International Gnome-athlon (B.I.G.)--or can he? While the book is not noteworthy for its art or its lyricism, kids should appreciate its commitment to groan-inducing puns ("This really gets my goatee"), illustrations depicting beard-cutting as a topiary art, and easygoing weirdness.
