(1) PS Translated by Julia Marshall. Illustrated by Olof Landström. Tyke Pom (Pom and Pim) is distraught when a dog snatches stuffed-animal friend Pim. Pom searches everywhere, but promising leads fizzle out: "Is that Pim? No, that's a bag." Pom is accompanied by, apparently, the Pim-snatching dog; a twist ending provides both a laugh and a satisfying resolution. Softly colored pen-and-ink and watercolor-wash illustrations focus tightly on Pom and the mission.
