(3) K-3 Hueys series. In their second book, the Hueys, who usually get along with one another, devolve into an argument, which Jeffers depicts as a communal dialogue bubble showing a storm. When Gillespie Huey asks what the others are arguing about, the Hueys are speechless--and colorless (Jeffers switches to black-and-white). The illustrations, featuring a cast that resembles eggs with stick limbs, tell the story expertly.
