PS
A puppy's nose leads it and its owners on an adventure. First it smells breakfast, then the garden; it even sniffs out garbage at the park, which leads to a much-needed bath. Kids will love using the puppy's thought-bubble clues to guess the next stop. Brief text and vibrant art capture the pup's joy and energy as it runs from place to place.

Balloon Toons series.
Zoe (a girl) tries to involve Robot (an android camped out in her living room) in a game of pillow mountain climbing. Despite Zoe's best efforts, the skill of pretending doesn't come easily to Robot. Eventually he gets the hang of it, and their climbing party is a success. There is some humor, especially in the cartoon-panel illustrations, but tension is lacking.
