(4) K-3 Illustrated by Adam McCauley. One dark night, snake June meets elephant August, and they hit it off, sight unseen. Reunited in broad daylight, they wonder how simpatico they can be when they're so physically different. The ending feels abandoned, but what elevates this don't-judge-a-book-by-its-cover tale is McCauley's art, which plays with shape to show how things--specifically animal body-parts--aren't always what they seem.
