Sumo Boy
$16, amazon.com
By Hirotaka Nakagawa, illustrated by Yoshifumi Hasegawa (Harper Collins, ages 1 and up) The story begins, "I am Sumo Boy. I fight for justice." And the pictures are equally fierce, with noisy colors, crowded scenes, and out-of-proportion, big-headed characters, all drawn as if the artist were channeling a free-spirited kindergartener who happens to live in Japan. — April/May 2007 By Daniel Pinkwater
