(3) K-3 Cactus Hank spends life sitting in the window of a desert home and snubbing the odd turtle, tumbleweed, or other passerby. After Hank snaps at a cowboy, the man says, "Seems to me, somebody needs a hug." That gets Hank thinking... This wry tale of blossoming self-awareness boasts watercolors of amazing variety given that all scenes feature an immobile plant.
