(3) K-3 Could you even give a book this title in the twenty-first century? DePaola's book about a boy who can't throw a ball to save his life but who enjoys paper dolls, dress-up, and (as he discovers to his delight) tap-dancing is as fresh and necessary as ever. While the muted turquoise and beige color scheme shows its age, the feelings are still just right.
