(3) K-3 Illustrated by Suzanne Kaufman. "Most T. rexes liked to chase animals. Samanthasaurus liked to paint them." Samanthasaurus's un-dino-like ways have her family worried ("Clearly you need to evolve!") until her unconventional thinking saves them during a family hike up Mount Crushmore, where they're surprised by a volcano. It's all very well done, with never-a-dull-moment art using just the right amount of eye-catching candy colors.
