(3) PS Tinyville Town series. Ellie just moved to Tinyville Town, and on her first day of school, she finds friendly, helpful people everywhere. The positive social interactions are reassuring for kids who feel nervous about attending school. Biggs's distinctive cartoony illustration style for this series (Tinyville Town Gets to Work!), with its diverse population of oblong-shaped characters, uses bright colors to reflect residents' happiness.
