When Emma receives a ballerina outfit from Uncle Leo, she doesn't quite know what to do with it. She doesn't know how to be a ballerina, but everyone around her, from the mailman to her brother, has advice on what to do and how to act. Emma realizes that she's more of a cowboy boots and kazoo kind of girl, and that everyone can interpret what a ballerina is in their own way (even the cat!). A joyous reminder that not everyone has to be alike.

One morning Claire woke up with a gator on top of her head. Worried about what her friends would think, Claire asked the gator to leave and he asked politely to stay and she said O.K. At first Claire didn't think she could do anything with Pierre on her head, but it turns out she could eat an éclair, give her brother a scare, and go to the fair. Although her friends did stare, they thought Claire was so cool and nothing else could compare. The book uses rhyming and simple illustrations to tell a sweet story. Follows "A Boy and His Bunny."

We all know that grapes turn into raisins, right? In this story little Grape gets to spend the day with his grandfather Raisin. They both learn lots about each other, and about the wonders of growing older and wiser. A silly premise for a really nice story of family relations and growing old.
