(3) 1-3 Color by Cat Caro. In this delightful graphic novel for emergent readers, a hippo joins his friend, a red panda, to seek a better life outside their failing zoo. They sample various professions, literally trying on many hats, before finding their true calling. Clear, direct text and clean, digitally colored graphite illustrations simply and effectively tell this clever story of friendship, professional development, and home improvement.
