Nancy Knows

(3) PS "Nancy knows she's forgotten something." The ensuing illustrations show elephant Nancy, a line drawing, remembering things "all in neat rows" (colorful paper-sculpture objects are arranged in rows within her outline), "in a jumbled-up mess" (objects are topsy-turvy inside her), etc. This concept-driven offering works because it's ultimately relatable: at book's end, Nancy remembers that she's forgotten to meet her friend.
