In "Olly's Wings," a horse feels abandoned by his flying-unicorn friends. In "Lionel's Mane," a lion's mane vanishes. In "Red's Wedding," a wolf steals a wedding cake. In all three forest-set vignettes, animals (forest and otherwise) collaborate on a solution. Pristine geometric art in rainbow colors helps tell the tales, all of which end with the jarring enjoinder "Be happy now!"

Toon Book series.
After her friend blasts off in a rocket ship, a fox loses the red heart representing their love. She faces many obstacles in order to rescue it, ultimately learning that there's something more important than the quested object. This beautifully packaged tale of friendship, intended as a "first comic," concludes with a tutorial titled "How to Read Comics with Kids."
