(2) PS Illustrated by LeUyen Pham. This boisterous adventure is about discovery and friendships forged when least expected--all in the form of a wild log-ride. A river "didn’t know it was a river" until...Bear shows up. Bear doesn't know he's on an adventure until...a frog leaps onto his head. And so it goes until...the animals plummet over a waterfall in an exhilarating vertical spread. Pham's illustrations have a 1980s-cartoon feel yet remain fresh.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld. This romp chronicles the making of a documentary about a moose. The hapless (and visually absent until book's end) director grows increasingly frustrated as silly situations ("would someone kindly get the moose out of the space suit?") and interjections from offstage interrupt filming. Energy and over-the-top hilarity abound, but there are some befuddling plot details. Ever-changing fonts and text formats hamper readability.

(3) PS Illustrated by Larry Day. Felix isn't happy about the new baby's arrival. He plots against her at every turn ("That elephant's so big...it could sit on my baby sister!") until, after a particularly trying day, she's the only one who makes him feel better. Expressive pen-and-ink, watercolor, and gouache illustrations help set this book about sibling jealousy apart from the many others like it.
