These small, square books introduce toddler Anna in two pleasingly unpredictable stories. While conveying the various moods of toddlerhood, the loosely drawn illustrations also extend the brief texts; for instance, pictures show Anna's friend Justin happily playing with her stuffed bunny, telling us that Anna can be generous with toys if not cookies. Kids will get a kick out of the changing expressions on the toy animals' faces. Review covers these titles: Anna Shares and Anna's Book.

Eight-year-old Daniel sometimes feels that he is "growing down" instead of up, but over the eight days of Hanukkah, he faces his fear of dogs and realizes that he is maturing in other areas, too. Illustrated with wispy black-and-white drawings, the lighthearted story and its likable protagonist will appeal to young readers. As Daniel's family celebrates the holiday, they tell many of the stories behind the Hanukkah traditions.
