(3) K-3 "One morning, Jonah decided to become ruler of the playground." Everyone follows King Jonah's rules until Lennox makes her own power-play for half the playground. After realizing all their conquering has rendered play impossible, the rulers collaborate on an apology. The text plays it straight, but the ample white space contrasting with the muted palette allows readers to zero in on the students' hilariously telling expressions.
