(4) K-3 Luke's parents are so preoccupied with the imminent arrival of his new sibling that he wishes two new parents into existence. While the Newbies give Luke their undivided attention, he finds that he misses his true parents. It's a fresh take on the expecting-a-baby-sibling story, but the hazy, shadow-drenched watercolors, which give characters overdramatized facial expressions, aren't a great fit.
