(2) K-3 Illustrated by Paul O. Zelinsky. Irrepressible Moose (Z Is for Moose) forces his way into another concept book, this time on shapes. An offstage narrator addresses Moose directly--"Hey! Don't eat that!"--in bold-type text. When Moose proves ever more disruptive, his old friend Zebra comes to try to save the day. Zelinsky expertly juxtaposes the expected orderliness of a book with the chaos caused by Moose's interruption.

(3) YA A year after losing her arm in a shark attack, Jane, a senior, deliberates between art school and nursing. She feels obligated to help others since her "miracle" survival, yet she's still passionate about painting. The free-verse novel captures the highs and lows of a young woman living through extraordinary circumstances and an otherwise typical adolescence.

(1) K-3 Illustrated by Paul O. Zelinsky. In this funny, inventive ABC, an orderly procession of letters begins, but at D, overly eager Moose pushes Duck off the stage. Though referee Zebra says it's not his turn, Moose breaks into every page, asking, "Now?" When M is for Mouse, he has a major temper tantrum; finally, Z is for Zebra's friend, Moose. Zelinsky's zany cartoon style is perfect for Moose's antics.

(2) YA Conversations, letters, and prose poems tell the story of fifteen-year-old artist Jane's recovery from a shark attack and adjustment to life as an amputee. We read letters from sympathizers (after a bystander's video is televised) and feel the sting of pity. Jane's slowly growing comfort with herself is realistically portrayed. Nicely drawn relationships round out the involving, affecting story.
