(3) PS Illustrated by Jacqui Lee. "Welcome to the woods... / Try tickling Owl's tummy to wake Owl up." This book is essentially Press Here with owls and die-cut pages, but it's special nevertheless: Walden has transplanted Hervé Tullet's revolutionary premise to a cut-paper-like forest where readers meet a welcoming, expanding owl family ("It's a little egg! Gently tap the shell to see what's hidden inside...").

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jacqui Lee. A young hockey fan is tucked into bed before the end of a hockey game he's watching, but tunes in via the radio under his pillow; as the boy drifts off, he dreams himself into the game to score the winning goal. Lee's gouache art, dominated by icy aqua-blue and punctuated with pops of yellow, pairs nicely with this nostalgic yet still relatable childhood scenario.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jacqui Lee. In this simple, cheery introduction to biology, Josephine describes her place in the natural world--as a human, a mammal, an animal, and a living thing. Two helpful appended pages list characteristics of these four groups, and the final page reminds readers they are each unique. Bright illustrations invite participation: e.g., "How many different kinds of mammals can you find on this page?"
