(3) K-3 Illustrated by Pascal LeMaitre. Handwritten text and panelled cartoon paintings take a hip-hop look at Aesop's fable, jettisoning the old moral in favor of the open ending suggested by the question marks in the title. Kid A and Foxy G both like hanging in the park, but winter gets Kid A back to his chores while Foxy G keeps making his wings sing until they start to crumble in the cold. Should Kid A take his friend in? Readers pulled in by the comic-book format will stay to debate the question.
