(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mies van Hout. In this odd story, Lovey and Dovey are jailed for stealing socks. Lovey bemoans the view from prison, so Dovey sneaks out and brings her the sun, stars, a tree, etc. They're released, but now the real world is cold and gray. Only one thing to do: steal more socks. Cheery illustrations show their cell resembling more and more the natural world.
