(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.

(4) K-3 My First Fairy Tales series. Illustrated by Mark Chambers. These standard retellings are mostly traditional with the expected twists and tangles. Only "Jack" is changed: Jack makes one trip up the beanstalk instead of three, which robs this version of suspenseful buildup and richness. The cartoon illustrations, featuring googly-eyed characters, match the light tone of the texts. Glossy, thick, sturdy paper will stand up to many readings. No sources are provided. Review covers these My First Fairy Tales titles: Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, and The Three Billy Goats Gruff.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Chambers. Dubbing herself "Superlove," a young girl plans a fancy pretend wedding between her cat and her stuffed dog, reserving the job of flower girl for herself. When the stubborn cat refuses to cooperate, Mommy cleverly saves the day: "Daddy and I can get married again, and this time you can be there, too." Sprightly illustrations enhance the story's buoyant humor.
