(2) PS Illustrated by Jules Feiffer. Everybody wants Baby to go to sleep, including the sun, the moon, the stars, the door, the animals, even baby's toys and shoes. Baby stubbornly insists "No go sleep!" before finally closing its eyes and, quickly, succumbing. The rhythmic text sounds like a game a clever parent would devise to lull a baby to sleep. The cartoon illustrations are classic Jules Feiffer.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jules Feiffer. Even though it might be raining on Sadie's father's side of the car, it is not raining on her side, and therefore a trip to the zoo doesn't need to be postponed. As Dad's side gets more dismal, Sadie's fills with sunflowers. This triumph of hope over (damp) reality ends on a note of pure joy. Gentle watercolors and a dancing pencil line support the deadpan text.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jules Feiffer. An ogre meets his match in a fearless girl who treats him as an honored visitor and offers some sensible advice: "I'll bet if you brushed your teeth...[and] changed your attitude you'd be quite nice." Feiffer draws the girl with a delicate pen and limns the clumsy oaf in broad strokes. Word-maven Juster employs the ogre's "impressive vocabulary" to colorful advantage.

Can Pat escape an awful marriage and continue her schooling? Lowry's wickedly gleeful caricatures meet their match in Feiffer's animated drawings.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jules Feiffer. After the newly elected president makes his post-campaign promise to his daughters ("you have earned the new puppy"), the news travels around the animal community. Guinea pigs, kittens--everyone wants to be chosen ("I'll pretend to be a puppy"), and wise Basset Hound hosts a contest. The story can be confusing, but the animals' exuberance comes through in the sketchlike illustrations.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jules Feiffer. More than anything else, Henry wants a tail. A kindly tailor sews him one, but alas, it won't wag. Henry finds a battery in New York's Battery Park and attaches it to his rump. Now his tail wags, but will Henry be able to control it? Dynamic pencil and watercolor illustrations add humor and extend the story of Henry's growing self-acceptance.

(3) 4-6 Translated by Alberto Jiménez Rioja. Illustrated by Jules Feiffer. To translate a book as dependent upon English wordplay as The Phantom Tollbooth would seem a daunting task. Rioja's translation manages at the same time to be both readable and clever. The deft handling of some of Juster's rhymes and unusual character names, such as the Mathemagician becoming el Matemago, is particularly impressive.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jules Feiffer. This compilation of scary things is little more than a list, but it's a true one, confronting children's fears in an empowering and reassuring way. From obvious bugaboos to more abstract fears, all the entries reflect the truth of childhood emotion. Stomach-dropping scary things are tempered with the occasionally humorous, and overall the tone is more light than dark, thanks in part to Feiffer's energetic, spectacularly expressive illustrations.
