(2) K-3 Illustrated by Adam Rex. Barnett and Rex tongue-in-cheekily describe the process of creating a book. "Ideas can come at funny times," muses Barnett, shown as a cartoon character arm-wrestling a tiger. It only gets wackier from there, as the book being developed takes quite a journey. Rex's multidimensional art is full of detail and sly visual humor. Young audience members will love every over-the-top moment.
