(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Daniel Mizielinski. Each map in this attractive book reveals an engaging mix of tourist sites, animals, traditionally dressed people, important figures such as Gandhi and Homer, products and cultural items (e.g., Japanese manga, Russian nesting dolls), as well as facts and figures. With a retro look reminiscent of old illustrated atlases, this browsable volume will lead to wanderlust.

(3) K-3 "Tonight is the Town Carnival, but will everybody be able to go?" Readers are to "follow the adventures" of the animal cast in the spreads that follow, which depict wordless city scenes. Calling to mind the hustle and bustle of Rotraut Susanne Berner's near-microscopically detailed In the Town All Year 'Round, this inviting seek-and-find book is leagues beyond Where's Waldo?
