(2) K-3 Illustrated by Hyewon Yum. A goldfish-size narwhal languishes in the confines of a fishbowl. To cheer her up, her owner and three other children with their own unusual pets--giraffe, penguin, and bat--take her on a walk into town. Yum's cheery colored-pencil and gouache illustrations mitigate any sense of tragic captivity; the story culminates with a clever means of bringing broader glimpses of the world inside for the narwhal to enjoy.
