(4) K-3 "The Smon Smon live on the planet Gon Gon." The ensuing story, about sharing resources, teems with double "-on" words ("The Smon Smon hangs its last ron ron next to its won won on a lon lon and floats away in a ton ton"). Readers patient with the gimmick will see that the fabulous, Bosch-evoking illustrations illuminate the nonsense words' meanings.
