(2) PS Illustrated by Roger Duvoisin. Spying her own reflection in a rain puddle, a noodle-headed hen raises the alarm that someone has fallen in. Turkey rushes over, only to make the same mistake, followed by a pig, sheep, etc. The story ends with "wise old owl" chuckling at their mishaps. Duvoisin's vibrant hues and simple shapes make the farm-set action easy to follow throughout Holl's humorously repetitive tale.

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Roger Duvoisin. A green frog lives happily, alone, at the bottom of a well; when the well dries up, he ventures up and out and discovers a much bigger world than he thought--including a lake full of other frogs. First published in 1958, Tresselt's text is lengthy but well paced; Duvoisin's richly hued illustrations capture the frog's personality as well as the beauty of the natural world.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Roger Duvoisin. From the 1957 Horn Book review: "Of Marie, a little French schoolgirl, and her longing admiration for an antique doll in a shop window...The pen-and-ink drawings...give the book a French atmosphere. A slot inside the book's back cover contains a...[miniature] duplicate of the book, for the listener's own doll." This new edition of the previously out-of-print title includes a doll-size book, too.

(2) PS Illustrated by Roger Duvoisin. This is a wholly pleasing version of the classic poem illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Duvoisin. The book's tall, narrow shape makes it ideal for vertical-chimney, steep-rooftop, and reindeer-flight scenes. Full-color spreads alternate with one-color (red plus black and white) spreads, providing additional pacing and rhythm (and the red accents add welcome warmth). It's all jolly, homey, unpretentious, and full of good cheer.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Roger Duvoisin. The Happy Lion falls madly in love with the circus's Beautiful Lioness. He hides her in his cave at the zoo, and when the circus owner tries to retrieve her, the Happy Lion "roared the biggest, loudest, longest roar he had ever roared in his life," making clear he's not giving up his new companion. Duvoisin uses the same arresting palette for this rousing sequel to The Happy Lion.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Roger Duvoisin. A very happy lion lives in the town zoo and is beloved by his many visitors, until the day his door is left open and he ventures out to return all the visits his friends have paid him. Unavailable for years, this endearing classic--the first of ten Happy Lion adventures--has been reissued in a handsome fiftieth anniversary edition.
