(2) K-3 Illustrated by Leeza Hernandez. Sayre steers kids toward understanding and getting the most out of the powerful tool of question-asking. Beginning with the basic "why ask questions?" ("They help you get information"), the brief main text introduces different types of questions, how and when to ask them, and what a question is not. With their energetic cartoon vibe, Hernandez's illustrations, featuring a diverse classroom of inquisitive kids, will draw readers in to this valuable communication lesson. The bottom line for posing questions to anyone: think before you ask.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Leeza Hernandez. Brief introductions to the scientific method and to kitchen safety lead to six sections, each focusing on a scientific concept (e.g., properties of matter) and containing a simple related recipe and an explanation or extension of the science. Some of the topics are fairly advanced, but goofy cartoon rabbits in lab coats keep the tone light. A "Science Review" section concludes the book. Glos., ind.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Leeza Hernandez. Rhymes, many with klutzy cadence, relate the tale of a boy's concert attendance at an outdoor venue next to a zoo. The child falls asleep and dreams of the animals--yaks on the sax, a bonobo on oboe, etc.--chaotically taking over. Hernandez's silly, rocking digital illustrations steal the show here. A CD of the song performed by Lithgow is included.

Recipes ranging from easy to complex yield foods in shapes and sizes that can be manipulated to illustrate math ideas (e.g., tortillas are cut into halves, thirds, etc., to better visualize fractions). Illustrations star exuberant and goofy bunny chefs. Glos., ind.
