Timmy & Tammy's Train of Thought
by Oliver Chin
illustrated by Heath McPherson
"Timmy and Tammy was a perfect fit for us! ... The illustrations by Health McPherson make me think of I Dream of Jeannie. They are fun, whimsical, cartoonish, 1950's-ish and did I say fun? (Oh, I see that I did!) Great book and we've reread it multiple times."

The Woollyhoodwinks
by Phil Dumesnil and Asa Sanchez
illustrated by Jeff Root and Scott Runcorn
"With a mix of cute handmade sock-puppet-looking things (the aforementioned Woollyhoodwinks) and whimsical sentences that shock and please with their originality, if you like your adult books intense, this is the kids' book for you."
