(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Harrington. This picture book puts a southwestern spin on the classic Chicken Little tale. "¡Aye Chihuahua! What was that?" exclaims Chacalaca Chiquita when a pebble falls on her head. Both the text and the colorful art are amusing, if a little slick, and will entertain readers right through to the final joke. Appended is a glossary of Spanish words used in the text.

(4) 4-6 Countdown to Space series. This book discusses the need for Hubble--Earth's atmosphere makes clear images from ground-based telescopes impossible--its design, and some of the images it has sent back to Earth. While the images are stunning, the small, narrow format of the book doesn't do them justice. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
