Bert, a small bird, walks to the end of a branch, trepidation on his face. He looks like he's about to take a running start...but no, he's not. Finally, he takes the leap--into a pool of water where friends are waiting. Simple shapes, minimal detail, and direct-address text keep attention on the action. Preschoolers faced with new experiences will identify with Bert.

Anton (Anton Can Do Magic) says he can lift a stone "this big," so Luke hoists a boulder over his head. Anton carries three logs; Luke hefts "a whole piano" on his back and plays it--loudly. Competition escalates from noisy instruments to (cartoonish) exploding bombs; by the time they're slaying a dragon these frenemies look as if they're having a grand time.
