Kindergators series.
After kindergartner Miracle has a series of meltdowns, teacher Miss Harmony has her students brainstorm ways to calm her down ("We need to put on our thinking caps, everyone!"). Though as well-meaning as her first Kindergators book, this story is misguided: is it really children's responsibility to mollify a tantrum-throwing classmate? Wells employs bold collage illustrations that enlist colorful fabric swatches.

Kindergators series.
Alligator Lola tells her parents about kindergarten classmate Harry, who can't keep his hands to himself at school. Harry first sits in time-out and then has a classroom intervention before learning to respect others' personal space. Wells's mixed-media collages, characteristically expressive and colorful, add welcome pep to the text that, while useful for lesson-teaching, doesn't sound like a kindergartner is narrating.
