(4) K-3 Young elephant Milo and his three kitten neighbors hate bedtime and other parent-enforced intrusions, so they conspire to hide; their efforts are comically unsuccessful, as rendered in Sarcone-Roach's considered acrylics. These spunky characters may live like humans, but they don't wear clothes--which makes for cutesiness-free illustrations but leads to the occasional difficulty distinguishing the kid characters from the adults.
