(4) K-3 Illustrated by Billy Aronson. PBS Kids' child-and-cat team is back with another "problem" borrowed from an episode of their TV show: Peg and Cat's lemonade stand isn't getting any customers. Amid too much commotion, the story competently introduces the concept of comparing value using charts and graphs ("Cat could see that two was a lot less than twenty"). As always, the cartoony illustrations resemble stills from the animated show.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Billy Aronson. The stars of the titular PBS Kids show star in their first easy readers: in Dog, Peg and Cat must navigate around a mailbox-blocking dog; in Pirate, they must fairly divvy up fruit for hungry pirates or suffer through a pirate song. Teach-y but entertaining enough, the easy-to-read stories based on TV scripts feature digital art with graph paper backdrops that mimic the show's look. Review covers these titles: Peg + Cat: The Big Dog Problem and Peg + Cat: The Pirate Problem.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Billy Aronson. In the PBS Kids stars' latest "problem" book, a teenager orders half a pizza pie from Peg's Pizza Place (Peg: "What in the world is half a pie?"). This serviceable, overstuffed introduction to the concept of adding halves is based on a Peg + Cat television script and illustrated with what look like (but aren't) stills from the animated show.

(4) K-3 In their latest "problem" story, the PBS Kids stars teach some skiing penguins competing in the Animal Winter Games to distinguish among "over," "under," and "in between." Despite the excessive exclamation points and font varieties, this story, based on a Peg + Cat television script, is overtly educational. The art conjures stills from the show.

(4) K-3 Peg and Cat (of PBS Kids fame) participate in the Tallapegga Twenty with a car they built from geometric junkyard parts. Shapes and simple mathematical concepts are introduced in the busy narrative, which may make readers feel as though they are in a race. The flat illustrations look like stills from the TV show, complete with trademark graph-paper backgrounds.

(4) K-3 A girl named Peg and two animal friends are about to enjoy a picnic at a farm when they are overrun by chickens. How will Peg get them back into the coop? For a quirky book (each page number is a simple equation), the answer is disappointingly straightforward (Peg uses a wheelbarrow). The fun quotient arrives courtesy of the joke-filled art.
