(3) K-3 Illustrated by Drazen Kozjan. A series of bouncy rhymes describe the jobs of various "mummies" (moms): "Wanda's mum's a waitress. / She says 'Bone appétit!' / When serving hungry skeletons / Big bowls of Scream of Wheat." The punch lines are enhanced by the illustrations, all of which are completely realized scenes of ghoulishness, except for the final page, which shows--eek!--maternal love.
