(3) PS When dinosaur Shorty finds a package addressed to his quail friend Clem, his resolve not to open it soon crumbles. When Clem shows up, he acts outraged but then admits that the package contains Shorty's birthday gift. With dialogue-balloon-driven storytelling and the expressive, digitally illustrated animal duo set against stark backgrounds, Slack borrows heavily from Mo Willems's Elephant & Piggie books--and does it beautifully.
