(3) K-3 Illustrated by Adam Rex. A brief bouncy rhyme ("Floating palace, / white and red, / chimneys belching overhead") describes the excitement when a Mississippi steamboat docks at a small town. Locals gather, travelers disembark, and crates and barrels are unloaded, revealing luxuries such as pickles, sugar, and lace. The art has a cinematic quality as small illustrations give way to large, busy tableaux.
