(3) PS Illustrated by David Walker. Hour by hour, this bouncy rhyme follows a rabbit parent and child through their day. Every so often, they pause in their many activities--indoors and out--to share a hug. "A hug feels good. / Let's hug again. / We'll hug at nine. / We'll hug at ten." The energetic illustrations, rendered in delicate pastel colors, often include a clock to show the time.

(4) PS Illustrated by Emilie Chollat. Spring-toned illustrations portray various animals (ducks, cats, etc.) in their natural habitats, with all but one young critter (duckling, kitten, etc.) fast asleep. Each spread also shows a little boy wearing a sheep's costume. The joke, which may require a few readings to get, is that he's another sleep shirker: at book's end, his mother spots him hiding behind a tree.
