When Laura-a.k.a. Masterpiece Robot-heads into the backyard with her little sister Molly-a.k.a. Sidekick-her active imagination places them instead on patrol around the perimeter of a dystopian city, guarding against super villains. Then older sister Amber-a.k.a. Valerie Knick-Knack-throws handfuls of fallen leaves at them, unknowingly initiating a battle for the ages.  The transitions back and forth from suburbia to dystopia in this story within a story are deftly rendered with contrasting palettes. The rollicking interactions of the sibling heroes and villains make Masterpiece Robot pure fun to read.Lexile Level 900Fountas and Pinnell Level V

This nonfiction picture book reveals the hidden lives of insects and other small creatures from one midnight to the next. The world may appear to be sleeping in the dead of night, but it is not. As moonflowers open and stars shine, nature goes about her business. The world never sleeps. Natalie Rompella's lyrical text is vividly complemented by Carol Schwartz's watercolors. A cat roams through the illustrations-silent witness, in the house and in the yard, to the myriad lives of night and day. A sense of mystery pervades all-even the backmatter natural-history portraits of the animals met in the book. This nature book invites children into a parallel universe, one that teems with life while they sleep.Lexile Level 700; F&P Level O
