(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jack E. Davis. "Stanza prowled through the streets / with his two rotten brothers, / annoying and chasing and bullying others." Deep down, though, dog Stanza is a poet, and he secretly enters a contest for rhymes advertising dog food. Esbaum's text is funny, its meter and rhythm skillful. Davis's watercolor, acrylic, and ink caricatures humorously show dogs harassing a city of people.
