(2) K-3 Illustrated by Leslie Tryon. Unlike the other Hidden Forest books, this installment forgoes letter-writing, instead presenting the Hidden Forest News. The newspaper covers storybook headlines plus sports, community happenings, and advertisements. Tryon's black-and-white drawings enliven the articles and features; full-page color illustrations are set between the issues. For Hidden Forest fans, this book offers all the fairy-tale news that's fit to print.

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Leslie Tryon. This chapter book features an ebullient potbellied pig named Harriet. In each episode, Harriet faces challenges, such as helping a friend overcome her fear of heights and winning a swim race. This is familiar, perhaps mundane, territory, but the writing is lively and characters are full of personality. Amusing black-and-white illustrations are included.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Leslie Tryon. In this third collection of letters back and forth between the storybook residents of Hidden Forest, the wolf bad guys are turning their attention to poultry. The format is the same as the first two books: each double-page spread comprises a personal letter and a lively pen-and-ink and watercolor illustration. In addition to being a creative letter-writing lesson, this book offers readers a chance to spend some time with old friends.

(4) K-3 In this epistolary companion to 'Dear Peter Rabbit', Goldilocks, Red Riding Hood, Baby Bear, Peter Rabbit, and the three Pigs correspond about the Pigs' upcoming housewarming party. The letters weave bits from each characters' folktale into the story; the elaborate illustrations provide plenty of detail (camouflaged wolves are spying in many of the pictures), but two wordless spreads of the climactic party scene interrupt the story's pace.
