(1) K-3 Ever-effervescent Agee fashions thirty-four comic verses, each featuring daft characters and a succinct scenario. Sometimes the payoff is a sayable terminal line, sometimes it's a tangler ("You can use Hugh's yo-yo too."). Either way, the effect is hilarious--especially with Agee's visual extensions of the absurdity in his deft cartoons. Made to be shared (aloud, of course).
