(3) K-3 Illustrated by Boris Kulikov. In an amusingly rendered scenario, Morris brings a present that he wants to keep for himself--a box of paints--to his friend Benjamin's birthday party, then refuses to give it up. Caricatured, slightly surreal art shows the wrapped package growing larger and more ungainly in Morris's grasp until he hands it over to Benjamin and proceeds to convince the dubious partygoers of the gift's merits.
