(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jay Cover. Walls have their uses, this book argues: they support houses, display art, etc. But some walls aren't so desirable: "They keep out the people / we'd like to meet, / or who'd like to meet us, / if it weren't for concrete!" Holdgrafer's rhymes disregard meter, but the book's (timely) message of inclusivity--boosted by blocky, jollity-filled art--is architecturally sound.
