(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Graham. After Mrs. Smith banishes naughty Chérie to a corner, the kitten squeezes through a crack and discovers a place where some baby animals are even naughtier. The book seems willfully anachronistic, with its old-fashioned prose ("'Oh, Little Chérie! What have you done?' Mrs. Smith cried") and pushy lesson-learning, but the story is somewhat engaging and the painterly illustrations usually get it right.
