      Gr 1-3-Slice-of-life predicaments are explored in two new additions to the beginning reader series. In the first book, the young girl lovingly tends to her mom, who is feeling under the weather. Katie fluffs her mom's pillow, offers up her teddy bear, and sings a lullaby. With Mother's Day fast approaching, Katie worries that she doesn't have a gift to give. More pampering inspiration strikes when Katie notices her mom wiggling her unpainted toes. Bright red nail polish and a relaxing pedicure make for a perfect Mother's Day surprise. In the second title, Katie and her scout troop embark on a hike through the woods. Katie partners with a new girl during a treasure hunt and is jealous when Janine proves to be more adept at the search. Feelings are hurt, but a truce is called when the friends find a common interest and collaborate to build a fairy house out of twigs. Lyon's cheerful watercolor illustrations feature a diverse cast of characters. New readers can use the spot vignettes to help understand the meaning of the text. Emotions are clearly discernible, from crossed-armed annoyance to supportive hugs. The text in both volumes is arranged in three short chapters, features plenty of repetition and is displayed in a large-font size for readability. Each title also contains a glossary (which defines vocabulary such as yawn and acorn), discussion questions, writing prompts, and an extension activity. VERDICT Katie Woo is a relatable and likable character, and fans will enjoy her latest adventures; a good choice for most beginning reader collections.-Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada
