Colette's Lost Pet
by Isabelle Arsenault
A new arrival in the neighborhood, Colette doesn't let her parents' "no pet" edict stop her from inventing an imaginary animal companion. "I lost my pet," she tells the kids next door, who begin asking curious questions. Colette improvises (her pet is, um…a parakeet!) and then continues spinning her tale with each new neighbor she meets (her pet is a blue-and-yellow parakeet named Marie-Antoinette that makes a sound like "Prrrruiiiit"…). How will Colette's new friends feel when they discover that the bird is merely a flight of fancy? You'll have to read through to the unexpected ending of this charming, minimally colored picture book to find out.

| Night Animals by Gianna MarinoWhat it's about: Why is Possum cowering inside a tree stump at twilight? He's hiding from night animals, of course! Possum's fear is contagious, and soon a whole crowd of fearsome-yet-frightened nocturnal creatures are jostling for space inside the stump.
Who it's for: anyone who's ever been afraid of the dark (and what might lurk within it).
Further reading: For another slapstick romp about misguided fears, check out Josh Schneider's Bedtime Monsters. |
