(3) PS Illustrated by Glenn Thomas. Diminutive monster "Little Shaggy," fed up with being called little, throws a not-so-little temper tantrum. However, the shock of becoming an older brother makes him reconsider wanting to be big. His identity struggles and big emotions will resonate with many children. The illustrations depict a happy monster family that looks like the cast of Monsters, Inc.

(3) PS Illustrated by Bryan Langdo. A little girl wonders how she can get her rambunctious stuffed animals settled for the night. With gentle rhythms and lulling rhymes she bathes them, dresses them in jammies, hugs and kisses them, and tucks each of her friends into bed, sweetly hushing them until all are fast asleep. Muted, soothing watercolors offset the energetic action depicted in the illustrations.
