(4) K-3 I Can Read Book series. Illustrated by Lydia Halverson. Marley appropriately disobeys his order not to bark when the baby crawls away (Woof); Cassie uses fruit to make a model of the solar system, and Marley eats it (Homework); Cassie brings baby chicks home for the weekend, and Marley can't resist the urge to play (Peep). The overly simple stories, accompanied by stiff but pleasant illustrations, are full of predictable action. Review covers these I Can Read titles: Marley: The Dog Who Ate My Homework, Marley: The Dog Who Cried Woof, and Marley: Not a Peep!.

(4) K-3 I Can Read Book series. Illustrated by Lydia Halverson. Despite the blatant commercial ploy to milk the success of the Stuart Little movie, itself an exploitation of the book by E. B. White, these easy readers (two play off Stuart's small size; Hides Out plays off his relationship with the cat Snowbell) feature action, simple yet natural writing, and effective story arcs. The realistically styled artwork shows Stuart and his human family. [Review covers Stuart at the Fun House, Stuart Hides Out, and Stuart Sets Sail.]
