(4) K-3 Green Light Readers series. Illustrated by Ed Briant. Best pals Petal, an elephant, and Poppy, a rhino, are quite the odd couple. Worrywart Petal plays tuba; Poppy is a "BANZAI!"-shouting scuba diver. In their first outing, Petal's tuba-playing rescues Poppy. In Penguin, Poppy handles Petal's germaphobia (among other issues) when a visitor arrives. At times, Poppy's voice sounds too grown-up, but the comic book–style illustrations offer a fresh approach to easy readers. Review covers these Green Light Readers titles: Petal and Poppy and Petal and Poppy and the Penguin.
