(3) PS Illustrated by Ethan Long. Dogs Miles and Spike embark on a hike in the woods, carelessly cutting down trees, picking flowers, and gathering provisions as they toss out cavalier goodbyes ("Stay loose, Moose!") to the (very perturbed) animals. The friends finally realize their errors and set out to make things right. This story, told entirely in simple rhyming dialogue and giggle-worthy cartoons, treads lightly with its eco-message about, well, treading lightly.

(2) PS Redd (a furry, bespectacled monster) and Bloo (a buck-toothed, egg-shaped bunny) learn a lesson about sharing and teamwork the hard way; they squabble over the ownership of a book but then must work together to get it back from Bookworm. Redd and Bloo are distinctly illustrated, and each receives a unique (handwritten) font; photographed real-world items (markers, scissors, etc.) provide refreshing visual pop on nearly all-white backdrops.
