(3) K-3 Illustrated by Marion Lindsay. Little ghost Gilbert longs to find "a homey house to haunt, a cozy house, a little house!" The scaredy-cat protagonist tentatively makes his way through the woods to what he thinks will be the perfect place--and to where a surprise awaits. Baguley's text features lots of kid-friendly pattern and repetition. Lindsay's mixed-media illustrations go from eerie nighttime blues and black to cheery Halloween-y orange.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tina Macnaughton. Old gray Hare spends his time daydreaming and visiting with the forest birds. As the temperature drops and leaves fall from the trees, the birds fly away--except for berry-breasted Robin. Hare devises a plan to help her survive the harsh winter. Expansive double-page spreads in colors that change with the seasons showcase this gentle but unremarkable tale of friendship.
