A Mighty Fine Time Machine

(4) K-3 Aardvark Grant and armadillo Antoine can't get their "time machine" (it's really a cardboard box) to work. Approaching things from a different angle, anteater Sam creates a figurative time machine: a bookmobile. Though the book-as-time-machine conclusion is anticlimactic, the critters' path to this realization is entertaining. The gouache and colored-pencil illustrations are imaginative.
