M Is for Mischief: An A to Z of Naughty Children

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nancy Carpenter. Each of twenty-six delinquents, from Angry Abby to Zany Zelda, is described in rhyming verse. Ashman employs an impressive amount of alliteration: "Frankie flings a Frisbee, / Making Fifi flinch, / Flipping Fletcher's flan, / Frightening Mr. Finch." Carpenter's accomplished mixed-media illustrations include an innovative use of photo collage.
