(4) K-3 Illustrated by Alex de Wolf. Whether twins Justin and Julie are practicing a puppet show, collecting insects, or helping Dad bake a pie, their lovable sheepdog Mop is sure to get involved. The seven humorous brief episodes, told with text and dialogue balloons in a comic-book style format, each end somewhat abruptly, but the ink and watercolor illustrations add a light note to the silly situations.
