(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joel Stewart. Stewart's interpretation of the nonsense poem from Carroll's Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There has a spare elegance even as it adeptly embodies the absurdity of goings-on in the verse. The entire poem appears on the first page; opposite, a Victorian man reads to his son (the son later appears as the slayer of the Jabberwock). The "tulgey wood" and even the Jabberwock's death by "vorpal blade" are less threatening than simply bizarre.
