(2) K-3 A New York City cab driver grudgingly picks up a stranger who asks to be driven not to Bleecker Street downtown but to Schmeeker Street, on "the other side of town." On Schmeeker Street, everything is round and pink and green; pigs and flamingos roam free, and the landscape looks like dessert. Wordplay makes the offbeat pastel package a strong read-aloud.
