(4) K-3 Illustrated by James Dean. As usual with ultra-mellow Pete the Cat's outings, the rhymes don't land because the authors give cadence too little consideration. Nevertheless, this story, in which Pete's cloddish dance moves keep wounding his animal friends, has humor as well as heart (via Wise Old Owl's reassuring dance-however-you-please message). James Dean's signature mixed-media art in sun-bursting colors capture the pep in Pete's step.
