(3) K-3 Willis the crocodile needs sunglasses, but he doesn't have the twenty-nine cents to buy them. Luckily, Bird, Snake, and Lobster come along, and after attempting to make the money at odd jobs, they devise to earn it by throwing a talent show. Marshall's absurd sense of humor is evident, and his deceptively simple drawings are rife with priceless expressions and hilarious details.
