(2) K-3 Illustrated by Christine Davenier. In their ninth adventure, best pals Iris and Walter venture forth from their familiar settings of home and school for a field trip to the aquarium. Guest drops in some foreshadowing, and readers can be certain that Walter will be lost, and eventually found. Davenier employs her minimal black line well to capture the excitement.
