(3) K-3 Museum-dwelling mouse Janson likes to explore at night. When she finds the modern wing, her creativity takes off as she emulates alluded-to artists (e.g., "she painted inside the lines" nods to Piet Mondrian), but her eventual "mousterpiece" is satisfyingly in her own unique style. Zalben nails the modern-art homages in her kid-friendly illustrations; the appended "Janson's Favorite Artists" guide reveals the inspirations.
