(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tad Hills. Early in the morning at one end of Fish Street, a bird begins singing, which starts a chain reaction of noises (whistling teakettles, screeching brakes, slamming doors, ringing telephones) that eventually awakens baby Wendell at the far end. The various inhabitants of Fish Street are endearingly portrayed (as pigs); both text and art are full of energy, movement, and variety.
