(4) YA Photographs by Stefan Hagen. Marissa's on a diet, Joey's in the closet, Andrew has a crush on Caitlin. These sound like typical high schoolers--but the book's cast is fuzzy chicks crafted from pipe cleaners holding court in photo tableaux. It's hard to keep the fluffy yellow teens straight, but with their angst-ridden internal monologues full of pop-culture references, they're both satirically funny and surprisingly sympathetic.

(4) PS Photographs by Stefan Hagen. As in Where Is Coco Going?, playful, elaborately constructed dioramas feature a droll yellow Easter chick wearing a pink ribbon, shown here in a month-by-month recap of her year. Rhymed couplets, less memorable than the art, describe Coco's attempts to ice-skate on her backyard pool in January, giving a friend a memorable valentine in February, etc.

(4) PS Photographs by Stefan Hagen. Traveling via car, train, skateboard, and more, a fuzzy toy chick with pipe cleaner wings and beak leads her toy giraffe through a string of elaborately constructed dioramas as readers try to guess her final destination--Grandma's house. Coco's journey is merely an excuse for Tanen to show off her unique artwork, but the photos of the miniature scenes are nevertheless fun to peruse.
