(3) PS Illustrated by Matt Phelan. In an amusing twenty questions–like scenario, an inquisitive badger tries to answer the titular question with the help of a not-so-forthcoming rabbit. As the badger--and readers--decipher the rabbit's cryptic replies, soft, earth-toned illustrations in varied layouts feature the two animals exploring the natural world together over a day. Different-colored text delineates the speakers, while the big reveal (in a dramatic vertical spread) encourages rereading.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Harry Bliss. Young museum visitors suggest reasons why the institution might acquire an object. Realizing the criteria ("It's beautiful," "It's different," etc.) apply to his grandmother, our hero decides to donate her. When his donation is declined, he depicts Grandma in various styles and media (with influences from Van Gogh to modern comics) and stages a one-man art show. Open-hearted watercolors match the uncomplicated text.

(4) K-3 Harry wants to be a dog, not a boy. So his parents send him off to the Pavlov Royal Academy for dogs, where he enjoys himself immensely but soon starts to miss activities like drawing, playing with blocks, and reading. Kids will appreciate the flat, clean illustrations of Harry surrounded by dogs in this amusing but predictable story.

(4) K-3 A girl and her mom playfully muse about how life would be different if things like apples, worms, and leaves had legs. Wordplay and alliteration add to the silliness. The cartoony digital illustrations are whimsical yet slightly freakish--some things just look bizarre with legs--reinforcing the wacky fun you can have with your imagination.

(4) PS A sad girl asks people, animals, and objects what makes them happy. Though her own turnaround is a little random, the girl's conclusions about what makes her happy are joyfully true to childhood: "I'm happy when I...Ride my bike...Paint on eggs...Stick finger puppets on my toes..." The ink and watercolor drawings against clean, monochromatic backgrounds are appropriately gleeful.
