(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ron Barrett. Joe imagines that his new neighbor up in a treehouse is an evil creature. He transforms into Superhero Joe to face the creature, who, of course, is actually a nice kid who also likes bugs and snacks. Although the fear factor feels overblown, the feeling of needing courage to confront something new is universal. Barrett's comic book–style illustrations maintain the story's tension.
