In Argentinean cartoonist Liniers's child-friendly early-reader comic, a little girl's stuffed-animal companion, Planet, comes to life at night. Planet roughhouses with the family dog, grabs cookies in the kitchen, and at the urging of a mouse heads outside to see the "biggest cookie ever"--the moon. Liniers's thin, sketchy ink lines are complemented by a beautiful watercolor palette that adds depth and mass to his forms. Also available in Spanish.
