(2) K-3 Illustrated by J. Otto Seibold. B.B. Wolf is invited to tea at the library. When he arrives, the other guests (especially the gingerbread boy) look worried. The librarian makes the assorted storybook characters comfortable--until B.B.'s spectacular burp. Seibold's zany digital illustrations include dozens of funny details for children to spot. Funniest of all is B.B. himself, a bundle of nerves in a social situation.
