The imposter
by Kelly Collier
Skunk wants to be a dog. Everyone loves dogs. And every dog seems to have exactly what he's looking for: a home and a family. When Skunk sees a "lost" poster for Max the dog, he wonders if he can pass himself off as the missing pet. He enlists the help of three neighborhood critters-a racoon, a cat, and a squirrel-who train him in the art of being a dog with hilarious results. But, uh-oh, there's just one thing Skunk didn't account for.

Mama Shamsi at the bazaar
by Mojdeh Hassani
Mama Shamsi is off to the market, and today, Samira gets to go with her! Samira loves spending time with her grandmother, and she especially loves her chador, which Mama Shamsi wraps around herself every time they leave the house. As the pair get closer and closer to the market, Samira is worried about getting lost in the crowded streets of Tehran, until she has an idea: She can hide under her grandmother's chador. But when Mama Shamsi says no--if Samira hides under there, the pair of them will look like a strange animal! In imaginary spreads, Samira and Mama Shamsi turn into a donkey, a giraffe, a kangaroo, a turtle--hiding isn't working at all. But maybe there's some other way for Samira to stay safe with her grandma in the crowded market

The town's children love the books the young teacher brings, and yet they keep repeating legends about a great and dangerous serpent. The young teacher can't believe her students still care about that nonsense. But as the river rises, those stories don't seem so strange anymore.
