(3) K-3 Illustrated by John Martz. It sounds easy enough: "STEP ONE / Fill the bathtub with warm water." But nothing goes right for the girl demonstrating how to bathe her cat: the tub overflows ("OOPS!"), the cat runs away, etc. On it goes until, in a hilarious rebuke to the book's premise, the cat demonstrates one-step self-cleaning. Martz's tidy illustrations foreground each disaster's slapstick essence.
