(3) K-3 Too shy to join a baseball game, a boy slumps on a park bench. There he meets four old men who, after a week, convince him to act. Wordless but for day-of-the-week banners, the white-space-heavy scenes feature audacious color combinations that work--especially with the old-man attire, which, hilariously, the boy adopts.
Reviewer: Nell Beram
