How to be brave like a snail / by Hrab, Naseem.; Collier, Kelly.;
Snail's not afraid of (certain) loud noises, exploring the glade, or lullaby karaoke. But he is afraid of asking for help, making mistakes, and believing in himself. And so, it's only with support from his best friend Stump that he finds the courage to enter a local paper airplane contest. However, after the contest, it's Stump who needs support when he becomes heated and upset after not winning a ribbon. Fortunately, Snail knows just what to do to help Stump work through his difficult feelings. Together, they find the courage to tell each other exactly how they feel-prickly thoughts and all!-and then they write their feelings down on paper airplanes and let them go. In their third laugh-out-loud adventure, Snail and Stump discover that the best kind of brave is finding the courage to share your feelings, even when your bravery is playing hide-and-seek.

How to party like a snail / by Hrab, Naseem.; Collier, Kelly.;
Snail is a party animal. Well ... kind of. He especially appreciates the quiet things about parties, like confetti, using his indoor voice, and softly blowing out birthday candles. But parties tend to get pretty loud, and that's when Snail disappears into his shell. But not to worry! Snail still has fun at parties - it's just that from inside his shell nobody can tell he's having a good time. And this means he doesn't get many party invitations ... So Snail decides to throw himself his very own quiet party. He plays hide-and-hide, he sways to his favourite lullabies, and enjoys a nice mug of warm milk. But that night, as he tucks himself in a blanket burrito, he starts to feel like something is missing. And that's when Stump, who's been there the whole time, chimes in with a suggestion. In the end, Snail realizes that he really does love parties, just not he rowdy ones. He and Stump put on their jammies, turn the lullabies down low, and "celebrate the shush" in their own quiet way.Ages 4-7.Grades K-1.LSC

Izzy's tail of trouble / by Adderson, Caroline,1963-; Collier, Kelly.;
Isabel and Zoë love playing with Isabel's puppy, Rollo-- especially when they play at Zoë's house because that's where the Baby Stealer (aka Zoë's older brother, Lionel) lives. The girls push Rollo around in a stroller until the Baby Stealer jumps out and scares the girls, then runs off with Rollo. It's a thrilling game that always has a happy ending-- with two giggling girls reunited with their fur baby, safe and sound. But one day, Lionel won't play the game. In fact, lately all he seems to want to do is play video games with his friends or raid the fridge for snacks. When anyone tries to talk to him, he either answers with a grunt or not at all. "What is wrong with him?" Izzy asks. "He's a teenager," Zoë explains. As if that isn't worrying enough, Izzy has been noticing changes in Rollo, too. He's not fitting into Izzy's baby clothes anymore, and he keeps doing things that get him into a very big amount of trouble, like eating everyone's ice cream when they aren't looking. His shenanigans get worse and worse until Isabel finally realizes something-- Rollo isn't a baby anymore-- he's a teenager! Is there a cure for being a teenager? Izzy is going to find out!LSC
