(3) PS Illustrated by Melanie Williamson. In this version of the much-loved song, round-faced mamis and papis, children, babies, and others cavort in a brightly painted bus "on the journey to the town." The playful acrylic, pencil, and chalk illustrations capture a vibrant Guatemalan setting. The book ends with information about Guatemala (including a paragraph on "Chicken Buses") and the musical score. An "enhanced singalong" CD is included.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Melanie Williamson. Tired of being the bad guy, the Big Bad Wolf goes in search of a relaxing fairy tale for a change. After trading places with Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Goldilocks, he makes more enemies than friends and disrupts a number of beloved fairy tales. The richly colored illustrations play with texture and pattern, adding some depth to the silly but flat story line.

(3) PS Illustrated by Melanie Williamson. Foster includes two of his own poems in this picture book collection of twenty-one nighttime poems. Traditional rhymes mix with favorites by Eve Merriam and Eleanor Farjeon along with poems by less-well-known writers. Acrylic paintings use delicately outlined people set against backgrounds that shade from twilight colors to midnight blue.
