(2) PS Illustrated by Jeff Newman. Young Phoebe scores a toy truck (yay!) at the same time she acquires a baby sister (boo!). The story is notable for its sympathetic depictions of a rambunctious truck lover, her harried mother, and a not-always-adorable little baby; mixed-media illustrations in subdued hues enhance the straightforward text while playing up the tale's small moments and its big emotions.
