Justin Time: The Big Pet Story
by Brandon James Scott
"The animation is wonderful, almost like one of Mary Poppins' chalk paintings coming to life, and perfectly suited to this imaginative tale."

The Year of the Snake
by Oliver Chin
illustrated by Jennifer Wood
"The heartwarming story about overcoming misconceptions resounds in any culture. It also doesn't hurt that the heroine is playful and enjoys being a little girl's jump rope. Despite the scales and fangs, Suzie is a snake with a heart of gold."
