When a baby drops his toy bunny, magician's hat–rabbit Hocus Pocus spies a possible new pal. Meanwhile, Mr. Magic and his dog board a train unknowingly leaving their rabbit behind, and a frantic train chase ensues. Much of the wordless story, told in energetic cartoon panels, will be lost on young viewers, but the digitally rendered art has a welcoming, retro-comic feel.

The rabbit from Mister Magic's hat must resort to all sorts of trickery to outsmart the dog that stands between him and some delicious carrots. Wacky, expressive cartoon-style illustrations tell Rabbit and Dog's (wordless) tale; parts of the story line may escape younger viewers.

MathStart series.
Illustrated by
Remy Simard.
In the middle of the night, Sam pretends to be Captain Invincible guiding his spaceship through many galactic dangers by pressing control-panel buttons shaped like geometric solids. The story's comic-book format and bold illustrations will draw in young readers, but its math tie-in (names of three-dimensional shapes) is too heavy-handed. Follow-up activities are included.
