(2) K-3 This picture book biography covers director-producer Mack Sennett, father of silent-movie slapstick comedy. The sepia illustrations in a cartoonlike style are perfectly suited to the narrative. How Mack developed a stable of comedians still regarded as classic figures in cinema history--Charlie Chaplin, Fatty Arbuckle, the Keystone Kops--is expertly compressed into the short text. Bib.
