(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Ercolini. Livingstone's mom forbids him from bringing bugs into the house. He lugs home progressively larger and more intrusive animals (mouse, pig, moose, etc.), until she's only too happy to accommodate an insect. The book's pacing is excellent, with the rhymes tumbling along (Livingstone, deliciously, doesn't say a word throughout). Ercolini is especially good at showing the cringe-inducing damage leveled inside the house.
