(4) K-3 "Nothing exciting ever happens to me!" Variations of this assertion are repeated while readers see that, actually, much excitement--a flying pig, a gorilla, and more--is following the seemingly clueless little girl. Is she really oblivious or just apathetic? The ambiguous joke wears thin, but the illustrations, with bright colors, bold brush strokes, and paint splatters, are eye-catching if messy.
