(3) K-3 Illustrated by Zachariah OHora. Mr. Stricter lets his class keep one of the tadpoles they've hatched. It soon becomes evident (to the students, at least) that Bruno is not a frog but a hippo. After many hippo-size problems, the class must convince a smitten Mr. Stricter to give up Bruno. In his signature style of thick black lines and bold shapes, Ohora's acrylics perfectly capture the text's ample humor.
