(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sara Ogilvie. Snappy rhymes remind the reader that, while parents can be major nags, they have many points to recommend them--e.g., "Parents are towels for / wiping your grime on. / They're whirlers and twirlers / and tree trunks to climb on." Reinforcing the kid's-eye-view narration, some illustrations are pleasingly faux childlike: several images seem to have been attacked with crayon.
