The Adventures of a Nose

32 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-1674-5 $$14.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joel Stewart. Looking like a Salvador Dali creation, a walking nose--he has legs jutting from his nostrils--travels around trying to find a place where he can "fit in and stick out." While the theme isn't new, this pleasingly surreal quest for belonging does have a droll twist, in that, wherever the nose goes, he always appears in the mixed-media illustrations to be right where he belongs, in the middle of a face.
