(4) K-3 One day, this book's pig narrator, employed as Assistant Bean Counter No. 1138, seeks shelter from the rain at a bookstore, where the stories he reads unleash his imagination (perhaps he's an acrobat?). His hand-wringing over whether to follow "the old story" (essentially an unexamined life) may alienate young readers; hopefully, they'll stick around for Rock's sepia-toned watercolors, which exhibit Tim Burton–esque whimsy.
