(4) K-3 Illustrated by Leonardo Rodriguez. In a conversational style, New York Giants defensive end Tuck relates the story of a traumatizing haircut--a reverse Mohawk--his twin sisters gave him in childhood. It's a slim premise for a story, but it's told with affection. Lively watercolor illustrations capture the feisty nature of the family; exaggerated expressions add to the humor of this slice-of-life scenario.
