(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Sheldon. "Why did the girl throw the clock out the window? To see time fly!" These mostly familiar standards may be new to beginning readers, who will enjoy learning and sharing them. Humorous color illustrations fit the mood and match the subject.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by David Sheldon. From family history to poetry to parties and traditions, the ideas and activities collected in this book suit all kinds of moods, temperaments, abilities, and occasions. Suggestions for games, crafts, magic, experiments, art projects, and puppetry are enlivened by cartoony retro illustrations and match the text's upbeat mood. A blanket advisory to use caution for some projects is included on the copyright page.
