Mouse and Bear are back, and even at Christmas they can't seem to agree. This third installment is as fun to read as the previous two -- how many picture books rhyme "goodness me" with "incendiary?" Not to worry, the Christmas spirit prevails eventually.

Wide Awake Baby leads her peers on a quest to resist the lure of sleep at all costs. Funny, sweet, and great for sleep-deprived parents who need a dose of humor to make it through another bedtime routine. This isn't a Halloween book, but the illustrations have a fantastic creepy cute vibe and a color scheme that's perfect for October.

This book is a lifeline. In a series of vignettes about her marriage and divorce, poet Maggie Smith beautifully captures the conflicting emotions, personal transformation, and opportunities for creativity that come with loss, change, and starting over. I'll read anything Maggie Smith writes (currently reading Goldenrod, and I have never been a poetry person).

Fortunately, it turns out that there's plenty of joie de vivre to go around.

All the animals try cheering up an angry tortoise, but they’re not going about it the right way (smelly old boots don’t help me either). A silly story that’s a lesson in empathy and handling negative emotions.
