(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Chambers. If Yoga Frog is "not feeling his happy, froggy self," he does some yoga to feel better. Each brightly colored spread features the pose name in English and Sanskrit, a simple description of what to do, and amusing art of the goggle-eyed, spindly-legged amphibian in the pose. A note to parents and foldout of the frog in the poses ends this child-friendly introduction.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Maria Tina Beddia. This wacky alphabet book begins with "A is for Aisle" and gets crazier from there. "M is for Mnemonic" but "N is not for Knot," and it's the one time where "X is for Xylophone" actually works! Under each digitally colored ink picture, a related silly sentence includes other words containing the silent letter. Perfect for highlighting how weird the English language can be.

(4) 4-6 Extreme Winter Sports Zone series. Each book grabs readers with a pivotal "extreme" moment then goes on to recount the history, technical basics, equipment, competitions, hazards, and styles of the sport; profiles of star athletes wrap things up. Bold, electrifying graphics are fitting for the high-energy subject matter but result in a busy look. Readable texts and action-packed photos provide much interest. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Extreme Winter Sports Zone titles: Ski Slopestyle, Ski Superpipe, Snowboard Cross, Snowboard Superpipe, Snowmobile Snocross, and Snowmobile Best Trick.

(3) PS The fun here lies in a participatory text and oversize gatefolds. The art is colorful; while not always realistic (e.g., the lion's grassland is purple), this whimsical break from realism doesn't detract from the pleasure of the shared reading experience, and the whole joyful romp ends with a flap revealing all the featured animals and their sounds.

(3) YA Lerner Biographies series. Both the biographies in this series--one of the shy Victorian mathematician who wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the other of the charismatic author of The Great Gatsby--offer a well-researched look into each writer's life from his early years to his legacy. Black-and-white photos add further interest. Fitzgerald includes a timeline and online resources. Bib., ind. [Review covers these Lerner Biographies titles: Lewis Carroll and F. Scott Fitzgerald.]
