After his father leaves town to drum up sales for his cup-making business, Pucca the penguin tries to help out by molding and painting a special cup that looks just like his babysitter, Ms. Parrot. Her delight yields orders for more individualized cups. Friendly animals (and cute cups) fill the pages, but the plot is slight.

Five mice follow the haunting sound of music to a frog concert. Quickly barred ("Frogs only!"), they decide to create their own instruments and stage a mouse concert. Their show is a hit, and when the frogs arrive they all make beautiful music together. Warm textured illustrations help this story about tolerance and cooperation rise above its message-y undertones.
