(2) K-3 A girl pulls on peeling wallpaper in her new house to reveal a world she enthusiastically enters. Thus begins her mostly wordless journey through six more wallpaper layers. Within the mainly benign worlds, she's chased by a three-eyed monster that scares her--until she realizes it's only looking for friendship. Paper-collage illustrations provide depth and shadow to the compositions, and paneled spreads accelerate the action without rushing the pace.
