(4) K-3 Illustrated by Benji Davies. In this unique fractured fairy tale, Zilch, an alien, crash-lands his space ship in a forest, finds Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and declares anxiously, "I am not part of this book." Though the plotting is overly convoluted, the comics-style speech bubbles, zany digital illustrations, and meta humor are appealing, as is the hilariously hit-or-miss problem-solving that ultimately returns Zilch to his rightful story.
