(4) K-3 "How does the fridge work?" "What lives down the drain?" Oliver's curiosity wearies his mother, and his sulky hurt ("Do you hear me, Mom? I'm going down the drain...and I might not come back") rings true. His ensuing fantasy trip down the bathtub drain, inventively documented with mixed-media art, channels his imagination nicely, but overall it's a fairly tame diversion.
