I'd Rather Have an Iguana
By Mario, Heidi Stetson
When a new baby joins the family, it's hard for his big sister to be excited. She's grossed out by smelly diapers. She misses riding bikes and hunting for frogs in the swamp with Mom. And, no matter how hard he tries, Dad just can't seem to get her braids right. Somehow, a pet iguana seems much more appealing than a baby brother! At least that's how it seems at first. . .The first-person narrative perfectly captures the voice of this irascible, yet loveable, heroine, while the comedic artwork further explores the nuances of a familiar family predicament.

My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother
By Polacco, Patricia
There's nothing worse than a rotten redheaded older brother who can do everything you can do better! Patricia's brother Richard could run the fastest, climb the highest, and spit the farthest and still smile his extra-rotten, greeny-toothed, weasel-eyed grin. But when little Patricia wishes on a shooting star that she could do something -- anything -- to show him up, she finds out just what wishes -- and rotten redheaded older brothers -- can really do. Patricia Polacco's boldly and exuberantly painted pictures tell a lively and warmhearted tale of comic one-upsmanship and brotherly love.

The Other Dog
By L'engle, Madeleine
Touche L'Engle-Franklin is confused: Her mistress goes away for several daysand then returns with another dog. But this dog doesn't have a tail. She doesn't have much hair. And she never has to go outside when it's raining. What on earth could the family want with that inferior breed known as Baby? Based on the true tale of her own poodle's experience coping with a new baby in the house, Newbery-winning author Madeleine L'Engle gives this familiar domestic drama an utterly charming new twist. Tongue-in-cheek wit, endearing illustrations, and a revealing author's note make this a publishing event to celebrate.

Riley and Rose in the Picture
By Gretz, Susanna
In a quirky tale of dueling artists, Susanna Gretz humorously addresses the give-and-take of friendship — and the creative power of self-expression."Now I’m going to draw circles," says Riley."Those are bugs," says Rose."No," says Riley. "They're circles.""They’re BUGS," says Rose, "with legs and spots."It's a rainy day, and furry friends Riley and Rose are stuck inside with nothing to do but draw . . . and bicker. While Riley likes to draw circles and triangles and rectangles, Rose likes to draw flowers and tents and boats in scenes that tell a story — right on top of Riley's work! Is there room in this picture for both artists?
