(4) K-3 Illustrated by John Himmelman. Mort, "a talented elephant," is torn when his father pushes him to excel at baseball while his mother wants him to study music. Mort becomes so overwhelmed, he accidentally uses his violin for a bat, and vice versa. Kraus's story gets off to a slow start, but ends with a humorous--if facile--twist. Himmelman's textured watercolors are expressive and playful.
