(4) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by John A. Rowe. "I'll get my finger paints and paint this boring white wall. I'll paint anything I feel like." A young boy imagines all the mischievous things he could do if he exiled his mother to the moon. The book doesn't add any new twists to child-tyrant picture books, but the frenetic illustrations convey the rebellious tyke's impulsive energy.
Reviewer: Jim St. Claire
