(2) K-3 Illustrated by Richard Egielski. While Tony snoozes, his school supplies tackle his writing assignment. The problem, as Yorinks shows through funny, spirited dialogue, is the preponderance of desk-top know-it-alls ("That is the worst beginning I've ever heard," crabs the ballpoint pen). Depicted in Egielski's ink and watercolor cartoons with expressive spindly limbs and wide oval eyes, each argumentative artiste displays a personality befitting its function.
