(3) 4-6 Books of Elsewhere series. "Olive put on the pair of antique spectacles...and watched the paintings...ripple into life." This third installment continues the conceit of "living paintings," here populating the story's real world with painted characters. The conceit is at its best when Olive applies her painting skills to re-create her friend Morton's missing parents. Black-and-white illustrations differentiate the painted images from scenes of Olive's world.
