(3) K-3 Illustrated by Dan Yaccarino. Nigel, a cat, and Julia, a dog, live contented lives--one chases mice and scratches rugs, the other sleeps and dreams of bones--until their owners bring home a new baby. At first they wonder "What good is she?" but soon "Bittle" grows on them. The casual storytelling is full of warmth and charm, and the bold images win with their eye-pleasing colors and near-geometric shapes.
