(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alexis Deacon. In this engaging turnabout tale, young monster Bobo is afraid of a human boy--"pink skin, orange fur, and all"--hiding under his bed. Bobo's grandpa gives him pointers on dealing with the unusual specimen, and when Bobo confronts the red-headed kid they end up becoming friends. The illustrations, featuring atmospheric reds, blacks, and greens, recall an earlier era.
