(3) K-3 Color by Adrianne Lobel. Lobel fans and nonsense lovers will welcome this amusing collection. Created from two unpublished books handmade by Arnold Lobel before he produced the famous Frog and Toad stories, this volume offers linked verses and limericks about owls and pigs. Each piece features a humorous, distinctive line drawing by Lobel senior, enhanced with color unobtrusively added by his daughter.
