(4) K-3 Illustrated by Grahame Baker-Smith. Credulous Leon and his skeptical siblings take in a magic show. Leon volunteers to step into the magician's box and there he discovers another world. The story becomes increasingly subordinate to the dark, dramatic digital-montage art. The layouts feature a couple of die-cuts, a fold-out page, and an overwhelming variety of fonts.
