(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Tony Fucile. Just as in the first two series entries, Bink and Gollie's wildly different sensibilities--and their interests, both shared and disparate--tumble out through personality-filled dialogue and digital illustrations of barely contained chaos in three stories. Details from previous books (Bink's preoccupation with pancakes; both girls' love of roller-skating) will reward the BFFs' existing fans while bringing new friends into the fold.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tony Fucile. Mitchell is stoked when his dad takes him bowling, but knocking pins down proves more challenging than it looks. When frustration sets in, his dad suggests they be on the same team, and together they bowl a perfect strike. Energetic, retro-toned digitized cartoon illustrations express the allure of the lanes while a passionate Mitchell typifies every child's struggles with a new skill.

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Tony Fucile. The odd-couple besties (Bink & Gollie) star in three new stories that take place at a state fair. Though all three are discrete, the well-paced adventures form a satisfying arc, each story rewarding in different ways--for slapstick humor, poignancy, or affirmation of camaraderie. Black-and-white illustrations, with frequent, strategic pops of color, use copious motion lines and cinematic views.

(4) PS Illustrated by Tony Fucile. Three-year-old Mitchell avoids bedtime until his father lets him "drive" there on his shoulders (i.e., Dad's the car). After a couple of days, Dad starts to find the increasingly roundabout journey tiresome (as might readers; the joke does go on) and takes charge of the ride. Fucile does a nice job signaling the hipster pop's fatigue through his expressions and posture.

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Tony Fucile. Three short stories star Bink, petite and excitable, and Gollie, lanky and unflappable. The pals agree about many things, but there's also some real friction (e.g., Gollie disapproves mightily of Bink's rainbow-colored socks). DiCamillo and McGhee successfully portray the bumps in the road that can come with friendship. Fucile's unfussy digital illustrations with lots of white space perfectly highlight this odd couple's particularities.
