2013 Randolph Caldecott Honor Award In this magical bedtime story, the lyrical narrative echoes a Runaway Bunny - like cadence: "Does everything in the world go to sleep?" the little girl asks. In sincere and imaginative dialogue between a not-at-all sleepy child and understanding parents, the little girl decides "in a cocoon of sheets, a nest of blankets," she is ready to sleep, warm and strong, just like a tiger. The Caldecott Honor artist Pamela Zagarenski's rich, luminous mixed-media paintings effervesce with odd, charming details that nonsleepy children could examine for hours. A rare gem.

My Little Tiger Is Ready for School is a story about motivating young children to enjoy new experiences, including school and life. Five-year-old Tiger is starting school the following year. After doing some research, his parents choose a program—Cracking the School Preparedness Code—to help Tiger acquire some specific capabilities. Tiger is not coping very well, so his parents decide to involve Butterfly, a family friend and coach, to motivate Tiger. On his first visit, they decide to spend the day out. Prior to leaving the house, they brand their day Fun Highway. Tiger and Butterfly spend the day exploring new environments, scooting, cycling, and doing everyday activities differently. Tiger and Butterfly both agree to bring along Tiger’s activity box, and the Fun Highway delivers more than scooting and cycling opportunities as Tiger effortlessly and joyfully participates in craft activities and social and intellectual discussions. In the end, Tiger is quite confident about his abilities and declares he is ready for school.
