(3) K-3 Illustrated by Beth Spiegel. Edward's father and pregnant mother are trying to prime him for the possibility of a sister; unconvinced, he puts his stereotypically boy items (truck, train, etc.) in the crib in anticipation. There's genuine suspense here, well supported by free-flowing watercolor and pen-and-ink pictures. Edward's spontaneous "Oh my gosh!" and loving look when his new sister smiles up at him couldn't be more right.
