(3) K-3 Illustrated by Adrian Johnson. In this unique alphabet book, each of twenty-five boys and one girl with alphabetically ordered names describes what makes him or her special ("My name is Moss, / I'm at a loss. / I found three tons / of applesauce"). The snappy rhymes, matter-of-factly absurd scenarios (one boy spends his time collecting fuzz), and retro-style illustrations depicting strangely proportioned kids have a truly Seussian panache.
