(4) K-3 Illustrated by Billy Aronson. PBS Kids' child-and-cat team is back with another "problem" borrowed from an episode of their TV show: Peg and Cat's lemonade stand isn't getting any customers. Amid too much commotion, the story competently introduces the concept of comparing value using charts and graphs ("Cat could see that two was a lot less than twenty"). As always, the cartoony illustrations resemble stills from the animated show.
