(4) K-3 Rushing to help ill crocodile Kevin, hippo Ophelia tells Meerkat of Kevin's stomach "butterflies." Meerkat tells Frog, Frog tells Porcupine, etc.; with each telling, Kevin's ailments become increasingly dire. The dramatic art will satisfy readers, but the promising story line is derailed for the picture-book set upon learning that Kevin's "butterflies" are the result of his "being in love."
