(4) PS Illustrated by Alejandro O'Kif. Rhatigan blandly continues the stories of these classic nursery rhymes with matching rhythmic texts. Hey furthers the poem's absurdity as other animals and utensils frolic in O'Kif's bright, if at times overly stark, pictures; Itsy explores more of the bug world and their various antics, cartoonishly depicted in Farias's rounded illustrations. Though ultimately slight, the books should have some appeal with the nursery-rhyme crowd. Review covers these titles: Hey Diddle Diddle and The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by O'Kif. Plucky, super-smart, pint-size giant Muncle Trogg returns in a silly adventure that tries his wits. To get his community to take the rumbles under Mount Grumble--and his new role as a ten-year-old Wise Man--seriously, he teams up with his Smalling friend, Emily, to show them a sign that the volcanic mountain will blow. Line sketches punctuate the wackiness of this fantastical world.

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by O'Kif. Muncle, a miniscule, people-sized giant, daydreams about being amongst "Smallings" (humans that most giants fear); soon he finds himself in closer contact with them than he ever imagined. The fast-paced plot sometimes proceeds in an illogical manner, but the humorous world and tongue-in-cheek phrases (e.g., "pretty as a toad") will keep readers enthralled. O'Kif's illustrations match Foxley's cartoonish writing style.
