(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wong Herbert Yee. This unpredictable comedy of errors features Mom and Pop Nash, who are determined to keep setting traps until they stop the wolf who is stealing their eggs. It turns out that Wolf is painting, not eating, the eggs, thus leading to a whole new sideline for the Nashes' farm. The slightly wacky story is accented by humorous illustrations.
