(3) K-3 Illustrated by Red Nose Studio. With suggestions on packing, composing a goodbye note, and gracefully backtracking to give your parents just one more chance, this lighthearted primer illuminates common frustrations of family life and the occasional need for a break. The photographs of slightly off-kilter clay figures set against backdrops rich with detail emphasize the emotions of the red-haired (and -nosed) main character, and his annoying but loving family.
