(3) K-3 Translated by Erica Stenfalt. Illustrated by Anne-Kathrin Behl. When Ollie hears that he is getting a babysitter, he and his blue bear-like "cuddle buddy," Stubbs, are concerned, imagining all sorts of terrible possibilities for who the babysitter might be. But their worries prove unfounded when they meet Ella. Originally published in Switzerland, the translated text and cheery cartoon art acknowledge a common fear while providing gentle reassurance.
