(2) PS Illustrated by Meilo So. This delectable collaboration reveals that some animals, like people, are easier to impress than others. A dog says to a boy, "I bet you can't growl." The boy can, though: "'It's simple,' said Simon." He then mimics the cat and horse he meets. When he meets a tiger, though, the challenge is tougher. The streamlined text is accompanied by nimble artwork that exhibits a pleasing symmetry.
