(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tomek Bogacki. Rebuses, identified in sidebars on each page, help tell the engaging folkloric story of the three title characters, who coexist unhappily in the same tree until it falls down and they must hunt for a new home. The book presents a lively incorporation of childlike artwork and text, although the page layout gets too creative at times, making it hard for the eye to know how to proceed.
