(3) PS "All right, Noah, dear. It's time to leave," a mom tells her toddler, who responds with "No"--in many fonts, employing many synonyms, and in many different foreign (and other, like robot) languages. The book, featuring cartoony art and a funny resolution, calls to mind Mo Willems's Pigeon series, from its single-minded protagonist to the punch lines found in facial expressions.

(3) YA Junior Drug Awareness series. This series provides useful, balanced, and comprehensive information about various drugs, including their street names, why people take them, what the dangers are, how to recognize signs of addiction, and what the treatment options are. The series' title implies a young audience, but the detailed information and occasionally quite graphic photos make this appropriate for middle school and up. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Junior Drug Awareness titles: Marijuana, Ecstasy and Other Club Drugs, Inhalants and Solvents, Amphetamines and Other Stimulants, and Cocaine and Crack.
