Little fox Lucy wants to play with her new wagon. Her mother wants her to go on an errand instead, so Lucy and her friends take the wagon with them to the market. It's no ordinary trip: the pals imagine sailing on the high seas and crossing the great frontier, among other adventures. Liwska's soft-hued pencil illustrations imaginatively enhance the straightforward text.

Young panda Bao Bao wakes from his tree-perch nap to find a tiger below. As he climbs higher, tiger close behind, the tree bends. Bao Bao falls--sending the tiger flying. Liwska's serene pencil illustrations (digitally colored) keep the story gentle enough for the youngest viewers. Full-page art shows the creatures' habitat, while spot art helps viewers focus on the characters themselves.
