(2) PS Illustrated by Mark Teague. Another winning entry in the series that demonstrates how not to act, via the behavior of colorful, completely incongruous dinos. Here, the outsize beasts head for school. The narrator's tone is calm and considered but no-nonsense; the book closes with a demonstration of proper school etiquette. Teague's acrylics highlight the dinos' outrageousness in exaggerated tableaux that put humor first, message second.
