(3) K-3 Illustrated by Edel Rodriguez. A robotic mop in a basement bathroom dreams of escaping, but mops can't climb steps, and other tactics, like sneaking into an inspector's bag, prove unfruitful. Eventually he's replaced and trashed, after which a run-in with an old friend leads to an ideal home. Taylor impressively makes a mop a likable protagonist and Rodriguez's combination woodblock/digital illustrations lend the character still more personality.
