(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jill McElmurry. In these four tartly funny interconnected stories, stubborn monkey Marigold fights about clothing with her mom and also with her best friend, Maxine, about hurt feelings. Marigold is a refreshingly unsentimental kids'-book protagonist, with equal parts soft spots and hard edges. The matter-of-factly anthropomorphized world (Marigold considers herself a "very loyal person") is rendered in precise gouache.
