(3) PS Translated by Susan Ouriou. Illustrated by Isol. An absurdist zero-to-ten counting book plays with the shapes of numerals some of the time ("4 for a chair hanging by its legs"); other entries are more obscure ("6 for musketeers alongside their reflection"). Isol's scratchy, gestural pen lines and blocks of solid color work well in this intriguing addition to the growing list of concept books with an arty flair.

(4) K-3 Translated by Elisa Amado. Illustrated by Isol. Each of these twelve blank verse poems describes a pet: a monkey, a marmot, Hurricane the dog who pops soap bubbles with her tail, a "tiny, / very tiny, / teeny tiny" hamster, etc. Unfussy line drawings with splashes of color perfectly match the poems, which were created in collaboration with children from Latin America and occasionally strain for a childlike voice.
