What Time Is It, Mr. Crocodile?
Illustrated by Doug Cushman
A zingy original tale for children needing a brush-up on clock-reading, schedule-keeping—or the perils of hanging out with five frisky monkeys.
—Kirkus (starred review)
Two picture-book talents join forces for some memorable monkey business in this entertaining take. Sierra again demonstrates her considerable storytelling skill.
—School Library Journal
Can You Guess My Name? Traditional Tales Around the World
Illustrated by Stefano Vitale
Aesop Prize, American Folklore Society
Beautiful to look at, appealing in tone, scholarly in preparation, this is an outstanding example of what folklore collections for children can and should be.
—Horn Book Magazine (starred review)
For pleasure reading as well as for demonstrating the universality of folktales this collection brings together 15 variants, from as many cultures, of five familiar stories—"The Three Pigs," "The Bremen Town Musicians," "Rumpelstiltskin," "The Frog Prince," and "Hansel and Gretel."
—American Library Association Booklist

Friends convert an abandoned shopping mall into a zoo run by the animals.
