(1) K-3 Illustrated by David Wisniewski. Shepard recounts the exploits of a boastful he-man named Shadusa who meets his match--and then some. The superhero stature of the characters translates to the deftly executed comic-book form. The frame-by-frame progression underlines the comic timing of the story as well as the supense. This fresh, funny, and perfectly paced narrative screams story hour, while the hugely appealing comic-book design will win reluctant readers.
