Puppy Diaries series.
Illustrated by
Deborah Melmon.
On his first visit to the park, puppy Scout learns that even dog playgrounds have rules that must be followed in order for everyone to feel safe and have a good time. Cheerful cartoon drawings show the exuberant Scout learning how to behave. The text is didactic, but puppy fanciers will still enjoy this outing.

This summary of the Obamas' "historic journey" (concentrating on the presidential campaign, election, and inauguration) is beautifully designed, with numerous high-quality photographs. Supplemental information includes a family tree, sidebars on Obama's and John McCain's differing campaign positions, and a spread on how the New York Times election issue was created. Best for browsing, not reports; there's no index or bibliography.
