(3) K-3 Illustrated by Serge Bloch. A boy describes his favorite aspects of Saturday: his parents cook all his meals, he can water the garden, etc. The joke is that the boy's heaven is his parents' hell (they tire of cooking, he drenches them while watering the garden). The illustrations are almost stick figure–like in their simplicity, and evoke a warm family feeling.
