(2) PS Illustrated by Andre Amstutz. Amstutz's acrylic illustrations hold center stage here with their lush swatches of color, energetically manipulated perspectives, and clever details. In Ahlberg's minimal story, Mom sets out to do some marketing, accompanied by baby Harry, the family dog, and the young narrator, whose realistic account of the trip segues quickly into fantasy. Familiar formulas abound, but they're well integrated.
