Cute & Cuter

(3) K-3 Janie Jane, an "expert on all things cute," receives a dog for her birthday. Sir Yips-a-lot is her partner in cuteness, until her next birthday, when Janie Jane receives a cat. The cartoony illustrations are a stitch, particularly those showing Sir Yips-a-lot's failed efforts to out-cute the competition. Added bonus for parents: the implicit joke about commerce's cute-ification of childhood.
