(4) PS Illustrated by Rosalind Beardshaw. A boy describes his baby sister's use of the self-coined word shwatsit and his ultimately successful quest to derive its meaning. The story, based on the author's own childhood, has humor and heart, if not the most original rhymes ("'Shwatsit' this and 'shwatsit' that! / 'Shwatsit' dog and 'shwatsit' cat!"). The bright illustrations depict a tight-knit, loving family.
