(3) K-3 Illustrated by Karen Stormer Brooks. After squirming out of his pen, Piggy Wiglet runs off to catch the sun. He follows it into the village, through the zoo, and finally home again. There he discovers it setting right outside his pen. "He knew he was / the only one / who ever-- / almost-- / caught the sun!" The cheerful rhyme about determination is accompanied by entertaining watercolor and pencil illustrations.

(4) PS Illustrated by Karen Stormer Brooks. This book about a girl who buys a single baby chicken that inspires the family to buy more--and more and more--provides good, pleasant counting-book fun, especially for a group. While the ending is weak ("I guess my family's lucky that I didn't want a cow!"), the tale is cheerfully told and supported by colorful cartoon-style illustrations.
