(3) K-3 Translated by Sibylle Kazeroid. Illustrated by Pef. Greg is a painfully shy boy. First-person narration allows Greg to describe effectively his own insecurities about speaking to others; readers will applaud the satisfying if somewhat sudden conclusion, in which Greg conquers the dreaded class presentation and loses his shyness. Quirky, cartoonlike pastel illustrations make good use of distorted perspectives.
Reviewer: CHristine Sarrazin
