(3) K-3 Illustrated by Laurie Allen Klein. To save her flowers from winter cold, young rabbit Kate digs up annuals to take inside. In her enthusiasm, she pots too many, but she finds a solution: give the extras to neighbor animals (though some of their homes don't look especially cold-proof). The flower-filled pages are inviting, and Kate may inspire readers to rescue their own flowers. Four pages of facts and activities appended.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Laurie Allen Klein. This introduction to unlearned animal behaviors explains (somewhat simplistically) that baby animals "just know" how to find food, fly, and swim on their own. Tongue-in-cheek illustrations dramatize the textual comparisons between animal babies and their needier human counterparts ("No one reminds a caterpillar to eat her leaves"). End pages expand on the story with additional information and activities for concept reinforcement.
