(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jos. A. Smith. Technically, this alphabet feast moves from A to Z and back to A, as each ogre presented devours a dish beginning with the subsequent letter of the alphabet (e.g., "Coralee consumes cartons of dumplings"). Still, the alliterative descriptions of how the various homely but cheerful basement-dwelling beasts relish their food roll nicely off the tongue, and the energetic illustrations match the text's gusto.
