One Moon, Two Cats
by Laura Godwin and illustrated by Yoko Tanaka
There is one moon up in the sky, and there are two cats that are not asleep. Both cats yawn, stretch, look, and leap. Then you see that one cat is in the city, and the other cat is in the country. The city cat watches the vans and trucks go by, while the other cat walks beside pigs and ducks. Both cats are exploring though, and they both seem to do the same things, even though they live in different places from each other. Both cats soon smell a mouse, though, and they go chasing after it. They both finally corner their rats, when a loud sound stops them both. Each page has a picture of both of the cats, one on each side. How close do you think the cats will get to each other before the night is over? What do you think the cats will do when the sun comes out? Does your cat like to do the same things that these cats do?

Justin Tuck's Home-Field Advantage
by Justin Tuck and illustrated by Leonardo Rodriguez
People ask Justin Tuck, a defensive end for the New York Giants, how he got to be so tough. Justin tells them that he had to be tough, because he grew up with five sisters! Justin's sisters gave him a hard time, especially his twin sisters, Christale and Tiffany. One day, the twins offered to give Justin a haircut, because they said his hair was getting a little long. Justin is not sure that he wants them to cut his hair, but the twins assure him that they know what they are doing (they have watched their mother plenty of times). Both twins are soon cutting on his hair. The girls keep cutting and cutting and cutting, and soon, Justin is worried that they have cut all of his hair off. When the girls show him his picture in the mirror, what do you think Justin's hair is going to look like? What will Justin's parents think of what the twins did? Do you think that Justin will ever let his sisters cut his hair again?
