(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nikki Dyson. When a mysterious creature with "super-duper, ship-shape-sharp teeth" starts biting everyone's bottoms, Frog and friends seek out King Lion's help. Don't look here for animal accuracy--Zebra lives in the jungle and Lion prefers mangoes to meat--but a peppy rhyming refrain, silly sound effects ("EE-EE-EEEK!"), and much talk of bottoms will keep readers laughing. Digital illustrations create a lush, colorful jungle world.

(3) PS Illustrated by Nikki Dyson. Every time patient Mommy announces dinner, bath, even playtime, (human toddler) Mo counters defiantly that dinosaurs don't have to follow rules. Illustrations alternate humorously between Mo and Mommy's playful and messy home world and an unruly, explosive dinosaur world, while a text full of both parent-and-child banter and dinosaur onomatopoeia makes for a rousing read-aloud.
