(1) K-3 An (interracial) family leaves its city apartment for the airport. Narrated by the older brother, a straightforward but lively main text provides basic information while dialogue bubbles and pictures tell a more complex--and wildly entertaining--story. Brown's simultaneously clean and detailed India ink and watercolor pictures follow dozens of characters on the flight. Sky-high in concept, execution, and kid appeal.
