Imagine Harry
by Kate Klise, illustrated by M. Sarah Klise, Harcourt, 2007
Meet Harry. He is the best friend a little rabbit could have. But no one else can see Harry, so Little Rabbit is extra careful to look out for him. He makes sure Harry gets plenty of cookies, no brussels sprouts, and absolutely no baths. Then Little Rabbit starts school, and he discovers that friendships change. Luckily, the best sorts of friends always knowjustwhen they're needed. Sisters Kate and Sarah Klise have created a profoundly sweet, emotionally true story about growing up, starting school, and the beauty of a having best friend (imaginary or not). Suggested for preschool-1st grade.

Little Rabbit hears the drums. He watches the performers parade by. He really wants to go to the circus! His mother says he may go but only after he cleans his playroom--which is a huge disaster. Little Rabbit tries, he pushes a moldy old experiment under his desk. But it's no use. There's only one thing to do: Sneak out. And he now has an act for the circus: Behold! The Meanest Mother on Earth! She has two heads. And green teeth. She's terrifying! Well, Mother Rabbit is tough...but only because she loves her child. Little Rabbit comes to understand this as he snuggles up under a homemade circus tent in his now amazingly clean playroom. Suggested for kindergarten-2nd grade.

Crying is just for babies--right? In a starred review, Publishers Weekly said of Kate and M. Sarah Klise's first picture book, Shall I Knit You A Hat? : "The Klises consistently sound notes of tenderness and humor." They continue to do so as Little Rabbit and his mother return in a sweet new story. Â Little Rabbit is about to turn five, and he decides he's all through with crying. He doesn't want crybabies at his birthday party, so he tells his friends they can come only if they're big, like him, and don't cry anymore. When all of his friends admit to crying sometimes, Little Rabbit is shocked. Does everybody cry? Why? Suggested for preschool-1st grade.
