How to Be Famous

(3) K-3 A pigeon, who brags about being a "famous model" with international admirers, poses on the trunks, snouts, and backs of various annoyed zoo animals while visitors snap pictures. Shalev mines humor from the contrast between what the text claims and what the illustrations show (the pigeon's self-importance is undiminished by danger and misfortune), and careful readers will find abundant clever details.
