(4) K-3 Illustrated by Luc Melanson. "Where are you, Martin? On the moon?" his teacher asks the daydreaming boy on his first day of school. Martin's thoughts--poetic, anxious, free-associating--provide the book's narration, which may enchant adults but perhaps not the target readership: Martin's nostalgia doesn't sound like that of a young child's. The sensitive art, which features a vulnerable-looking kid, is more relatable.
