Quick pick picture books

It seems I am always trying (in vain, too) to keep up with the postings of the books I am tearing through in these last few days before summer classes begin. So, here are a few from recent reading. More to come shortly...

Until Traction Man finds
That waves spell danger. <329>

People fled leaving behind
All that they possessed. <330>

But Mom and Dad take turns so
I am always loved. <331>
