(2) PS Illustrated by Isabel Roxas. Sven is happy being the littlest Viking; then a (loud) baby sister arrives. Sven's parents' attempts to mollify their screeching newborn are futile. Fortunately, Sven's storytelling--about "a small, brave Viking and a mighty warrior princess"--calms his sister and saves the day. Roxas's winsome gouache and colored-pencil art follows Sven as he matures out of his "littlest" title and accepts the mantle of big-brotherhood.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Isabel Roxas. Lê schools children on the evils of the spoiler. A bespectacled boy selects books to read, but his experience is spoiled each time by creatures who've already read the books, despite his pleas to, next time, just let him finish. Roxas's mixed-media illustrations take the boy--and readers--on an imaginative journey with varied perspective and lots of forward momentum.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Isabel Roxas. After an exhausting Halloween season, a young witch checks into the fab-BOO Witch Spa for a rejuvenating experience. Told in rhyme, the silly story highlights the witchy treatments available, such as the "Broom Bristle Facial" or the "Serpent Spit Spritzer." Expressive illustrative details add levity and more kid-friendly humor to a premise that will perhaps most amuse adult spa-goers.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Isabel Roxas. In a crime caper for the picture book set, a boy ("the sheriff") and his dog ("the deputy") must escort a box of a dozen donuts home from the bakery. One donut goes missing. The snappy text plays it straight, while the illustrations, drawn with graphite and colored digitally, hold the evidence that allows the reader in on the joke.
