(2) K-3 Illustrated by André Amstutz. With a winsome lilt, Ahlberg describes a boy who "caught a Baby / In his Hat" as she was falling from a window. After years of adventures at sea, he comes home to London to find that same baby--now a pretty face, and soon to be his bride. The story is handsomely visualized and intriguingly extended by Amstutz's sweeping gouache illustrations.
