Sprout Street Neighbors

Sprout Street Neighbors series.
In this third installment, the six animal friends from 24 Sprout Street decide to visit Paris together. The homebodies need encouraging; the impetuous need reining in; but eventually everyone has an unforgettable time. The stories are offbeat, and while the setting may be unfamiliar, the mutual support and love among the friends will keep young readers grounded. Includes a glossary of French words and phrases.

Sprout Street Neighbors series.
In this second installment, Mili moves into the all-animal apartment building. Violet worries that Mili might be a better artist than she is, but they soon form a mutual admiration society; Mili makes another friend after she helps Wilbur find his missing fortune-cookie fortune. Six brief chapters full of homey illustrations and realistic emotions follow Mili's adjustment to her new home.

Sprout Street Neighbors series.
Five animal friends live in the same apartment building. Whenever one has a problem, the others come to his or her rescue. For instance, when Fernando decides to follow his dream of becoming a dancer, Violet gives him encouragement; when Violet's roof leaks, Wilbur calls the plumber. The stories are sweet and gentle, and the frequent pencil illustrations help differentiate the characters.
