(3) PS Illustrated by Joe Cepeda. While their parents paint the house, three siblings take up residence in four exotic locales--tree, pond, cave, ocean--before conceding a house's advantages. This newly illustrated cheery ode to independence will thrill the very young with its repetition and surprises. Oil paintings show the siblings calmly handling various troubles, including tumbling out of the tree and encountering bears in the cave.
