I Wanna New Room

(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Catrow. Alex, forced to share a room with his younger brother ever since his sister was born, engages in a letter-writing volley with his father, with whom he pleads for his own space. The trademark grotesquerie of Catrow's illustrations (the kids look like sunburned old men) is offset by the book's humor and the affection undergirding even the most histrionic of the father-son exchanges.
