It has been a bad day for Horace. A very bad day. He’s come home feeling mean. But his mother knows just what to do! “For the book Mean Soup, the recipe is as follows: (1) clever text spiced with one or two outrageous bits; (2) a grand message about getting out anger instead of locking it inside; and (3) exciting artwork as full of life as the story.”--Booklist

All is well for Louise and her cat, Frida, until Louise finds a ruffled collar on her doorstep that, once on, turns ordinary Frida into a piano-playing wondercat. “The zany goings-on are wonderfully depicted in the two-dimensional illustrations, drawn with deceptive naiveté and carefully controlled by the skillful use of color, composition, and line.”--The Horn Book

The Happy Hippopotami

Climb aboard the picnic buses for a happy hippoholiday! This lively rhyming story of a seaside romp where hippopotamamas, papas, sons, and daughters are soaking up the sun, strolling along the boardwalk, and dancing around the maypole makes a perfect read-aloud. “Seeming to spill off the pages with their jollity, Everitt’s spirited illustrations are sure to endear these playful creatures to kids--who will have as much fun as the hippos do.”--Publishers Weekly
