(4) PS Watch Me Grow series. Illustrated by Lisa McCue. Little Bear creates--then loses--a mobile she made to welcome a new baby sibling; Little Wolf deals with his anxious feeling of inadequacy as he starts school. Cutesy illustrations accompany these simple stories about youngsters facing new challenges, both of which are resolved neatly and satisfyingly but suffer from saccharine narration. Review covers these Watch Me Grow titles: Little Bear's Baby Brother and Little Wolf Goes to School.

"Clean-up Crew"), the clear comparisons ("A female Queen Alexandra's birdwing is larger than the book you are reading") and straightforward text will help readers understand more difficult concepts (e.g., camouflage, endangered species). Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these SuperSized! titles: Goliath Bird-Eating Tarantula, Goliath Beetle, and Queen Alexandra's Birdwing.
