(1) PS Translated by Joan Sandin. Illustrated by Olof Landström. This Swedish team's droll sensibilities are on display here, in a larger format than the previous board-book–like Boo and Baa titles. When the noodle-headed sheep try to rescue a cat from a tree, comical misadventures ensue, with a slightly quirky but satisfying ending. The larger format means more space for the pictures and the comic possibilities; the text remains as brief as ever.
