(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jeffrey Stewart Timmins. From murder and suicide to accidental deaths and those by natural causes, refusal to shy away from its grisly concept is this book's charm. Most poems will elicit a chuckle, or at least a gasp; Timmins's eerie, atmospheric illustrations contain additional quips, but around the fourth time a creature is hit by the same truck, the joke loses some intensity.
