(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stéphane Jorisch. Who needs a dictionary when you've got a dad? This dad can name human bones, dogs, cheeses, and more. "He knows which mosses are the fuzziest. / He knows which insects are the buzziest." Playful illustrations celebrate a son's admiration for his father and the numerous wonderful things to be known.
Reviewer: Shoshana Flax
