(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ester Garay. Child-genius Albie hopes to impress new classmates with a special invention, but his destructive single-mindedness in creating it causes classroom mayhem; observant Shirley gets everyone to see Albie's good intentions (and cool invention!). Rhyming couplets and bright, goofy digital illustrations keep the tone light in this (superficial) celebration of STEAM concepts. With no adult presence in the story, Albie's diverse group of classmates prove an accepting, tolerant bunch.
