| The Evil Princess Vs. the Brave Knight by Jennifer Holm and Matthew HolmStarring: armor-clad Brave Knight and crown-wearing Evil Princess, two siblings who share a castle, a cat, and talent for getting on each other’s nerves.
Why kids might like it: With its combination of slapstick (Evil Princess unapologetically trips the Brave Knight) and sly visual humor ("a damsel in distress across the moat" is pictured as the cat perched above a full bathtub), this cartoon-illustrated tale will set off gales of giggles. |

| Vroom! by Barbara McClintockWhat it’s about: It’s “a fine evening for a drive,” and so Annie hops into her race car and zooms off for an imaginative road trip through city streets, up winding mountain roads, and around a racetrack, arriving back home in time for bed.
Why kids might like it: Just like Annie, kids will feel the wind in their hair as they pore over Vroom’s detailed art and listen to its simple, evocative words. |

| Truman by Jean Reidy; illustrated by Lucy Ruth CumminsWhat it's about: Tiny tortoise Truman is about the size of “a small donut,” and he loves his human, Sarah, so much that when she leaves one day aboard a city bus, Truman resolves to escape his tank and go find her.
Who it’s for: children who love imagining what their pets do when they’re away.
Kids might also like: Thyra Heder’s Alfie, for another adorable, heartwarming, turtle's-eye view of the world. |
