(3) K-3 A boy alone on the beach loses his kite. First a seal, then representatives of nearly every animal species show up and, wordlessly, create an unlikely animal pyramid that makes possible the kite's retrieval. The premise, surprise ending (the kite escapes again), droll text ("All agreed that they must get together soon and do it again"), and cartoony watercolor illustrations all succeed.
