I think you’ll enjoy THE YOWLERS by Stacy Lynn Carroll, illus. by @mollyruttan.bsky.social. Have your little ones pay attention to the art as the Yowlers become more civilized. Very fun!
The book’s cover is the illustrator’s cute drawing of the Yowler family, mom, dad, two daughters and son standing in front of their house. They each have two horns, open-mouths and pointed teeth, looking ready to yowl.

Today is writer/illustrator Garth Williams’ birthday! #UrsulaNordstrom and #EBWhite chose him to illustrate STUART LITTLE and CHARLOTTE’S WEB. Ursula asked also him to illustrate the reprinted LITTLE HOUSE series. His own book, THE RABBITS' WEDDING, stirred up segregationists in 1958. #kidlit
The cover shows Stuart, a diminutive mouse, paddling a canoe down a river. The cover shows Charlotte holding the pig, Wilbur. The goose and the lamb are standing beside her. Charlotte is looking at a spider hanging from a web in front of her. Also the title is held within a web. The cover shows a white rabbit and a black rabbit together. The black rabbit is holding yellow flowers and the white rabbit is putting them behind her ears. The background is a meadow scene with trees in the background. The foreground is a small stream. The rabbits look happy.

SOMETHING WILD by Molly Ruttan
What an ‘imaginative’ way to write about performance jitters.
