(3) PS Illustrated by Mircea Catusanu. In Pearson's second mock how-to (How to Eat an Airplane), the omniscient narration plays it amusingly straight (e.g., "Everyone knows that dump trucks make the best pets"). Also supplying the yuks (and sometimes yucks) is collage-like digital art. See, for example, when the boy who gamely models truck ownership throughout the book must confront his pet's, er, deposits.
