(2) PS Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. In this classically sweet picture book, two preschoolers and a toddler build a cardboard-box fortress and protect it from dragons until darkness falls and their parents take them home. Bently's unforced rhyming couplets swing along, and Oxenbury, in gentle watercolors and crosshatched line drawings, showcases her gift for portraying the personalities and relationships of young children.
