Poodle and Hound are close friends despite their differing interests. Hound can appreciate Poodle's fancy new hairdo better than anyone, and Poodle helps Hound with his astronomy and gardening projects in her own special way. Attractive design and illustrations set this sophisticated easy reader apart from others in the pervasive odd-couple buddy-tale category.

Despite Velcro, yarn, and duct tape, Molly always loses her mittens. Soon the school's lost-and-found box becomes a threatening heap. Anyone familiar with the frustrations of lost mittens will appreciate the text's humorous refrain ("Mittens, mittens. My, oh, my! / A mountain of mittens, piled up high") and the watercolor and ink illustrations showing a classroom's chaotic mess of winter apparel.
