(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nancy Carpenter. A mischievous girl presents questions, hypotheses, methodology, and results of kooky experiments that go awry. Some are a riot (yodeling doesn't "speed up a boring car ride"), but others fall flat ("Would gerbils like bigger wheels?" yields inconclusive results--they're too short for the Ferris wheel). Carpenter's striking pen-and-ink and digital art will elicit chuckles throughout.
