(4) K-3 Translated by Rosemary Lanning. Humpty Dumpty meets Alice in Wonderland in this surreal tale. Venturing into the night with her teddy bear, Laura discovers, chases after, and befriends an egg-shaped creature. In the morning she finds her nighttime playmate has transformed into a yellow-beaked, stripy-legged bird. Radiant pinks, blues, and reds dissolve into utter darkness, creating misty, dreamlike backdrops, against which the uneven text gets lost.
Reviewer: Tanya D. Auger
