(4) K-3 The narrator of this goofy art-project of a story tries to improve on her simple family picture by adding objects that better describe each member of her family. Similes abound, some more effective than others. The resulting portraits, composed of gouache and watercolor with the real objects glued on, will delight readers and inspire them to make their own.
