(2) K-3 Illustrated by Giselle Potter. With parents who revel in standing out, Ruby Small wants to be inconspicuous. She also longs for a pet--but the glacier fragment named Cecil that follows her home from a Norwegian vacation is not what she had in mind. The text, matter-of-fact but decorated with the occasional sparkle, is matched by lush, quirky watercolors that somehow give a chunk of ice personality.
