The Discovery of Fireworks & Gunpowder
by Phil Amara and Oliver Chin, illustrated by Juan Calle
"Amara and Chin pack as much STEM information into Dao You's history lesson as there is metallic powder in pyrotechnic stars... Calle's bright cartoons infuse energy and enthusiasm into each spread."

The Story of Noodles
by Ying Chang Compestine, illustrated by YongSheng Xuan
"Cut-paper collage illustrations on white backgrounds with textured paper borders are cleanly and elegantly displayed...The black outlines give a feeling of dimensionality similar to that evinced in stained glass... Compestine's almost tongue-in-cheek tale is a nearly unbeat-able combination of slapstick humor, fast pace, and food."
