(4) PS Illustrated by Lindsey Gardiner. Looking for someone "who'd cuddle a dragon with love to spare," a lost baby dragon approaches a witch, a knight, a princess, and others, but everyone finds him hard to love. Finally his mother appears, and all is well. The bright illustrations make good use of the layout, but the pudgy dragon is, like the rhyme itself, too sweet.

(3) PS Illustrated by Lindsey Gardiner. After a joyful little girl ends a verse of the titular song with the direction "clap your hands," a series of animals beg to differ: a dog insists that one should "wave your tail--swirl, twirl!" to express happiness; an elephant prefers to "flap your ears--flip, flap!"; etc. The be-yourself message is well executed, and the candy-colored double-page spreads exude infectious mirth.
