(4) K-3 Illustrated by Magali Le Huche. A girl makes crude but cheerful drawings to create a story about Hero and Heroine's Conflict with Evil Overlord, while an unseen narrator remarks on (and critiques) her use of story elements ("What kind of action is that?"). This introduction to how stories work is full of humor, but a "friendly" glossary confuses matters by introducing terms not in the text.
