(2) K-3 I Can Read Book series. Illustrated by Barbara Bottner. Although they have their differences, best friends Pish and Posh have one common dream: to get their fairy wings. According to The Fairy Handbook, they must first learn to wish wisely. Young readers need to pay attention to punctuation and context cues to make meaning; the expressive illustrations provide extra help for readers who are better at identifying words than comprehending them.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Olof Landstrom. Wallace, a list-making mouse, isn't much of a free spirit until he meets his adventurous neighbor Albert and learns to cut loose a little. The comical art incorporates Wallace's lists ("1. Water plants. 2. Take a walk") and chronicles his predictable, lonely life as it expands to include spontaneity and friendship.
