(3) K-3 Illustrated by Brianne Farley. Siblings Katie and Owen have different opinions as to the best way to spend free time. Is building better than reading, or vice versa? Their school librarian encourages them to try each other's passions, and it's no surprise when they learn to appreciate them. The simply cartooned ink and gouache illustrations are appealing, especially in depicting the body language of the (brown-skinned) children and the teetering edifices made of books.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Brianne Farley. Bunny Charlotte figures things out using the scientific method. She loves doing experiments and making discoveries but lives with lots of siblings who get in her way and spoil results. After going to outer space, she realizes that she misses her family and returns to claim "her own space." Whimsical illustrations show a stepped approach to problem-solving. More on the scientific method is appended.
