K-3Toon Book series.
Illustrated by
Frank Cammuso.
Comic books meet picture books in these titles. Silly introduces the seasons through a child's experiences. In Benny, mouse siblings squabble about playing together. Otto is a takeoff on "King Midas." All feature panels and speech balloons, and palettes change from book to book; Lilly uses bright colors, Benny employs pastels to add sweetness, and Otto is all about orange. Review covers these Toon Book titles: Otto's Orange Day, Benny and Penny in Just Pretend, and Silly Lilly and the Four Season.
