At bedtime, Button the bear worries that his dreams will be scary. "Should I give you something nice to think about...?" Daddy asks, and he tells Button about a most wonderful day: the day his cub was born. In this soothing bedtime story, Button is an appealing brown bear living in a gentle forest of warm greens and browns.

Otto the otter can do lots of things, including "slippery-rock hopping" and "being kind to frogs," but he just can't swim. His sister finally helps him with the advice to "start small." Marlow's animals are endearing; a springtime palette of blues and greens with plenty of white space displays a close-knit riverbank community.

Hopscotch is a very brave bunny--most of the time. When his parents go out one night and Mrs. Honeybunch comes to baby-sit, he isn't at all sure that being left alone with her is a good idea. The story verges on saccharine, but the acrylic and pen-and-ink illustrations effectively trace Hopscotch's transformation from anxious bunny to reassured rabbit.
