Last week, I wrote (here<\/a><\/strong>) about two new picture books that make me laugh (with them, not at them) — Katy Beebe\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> Brother Hugo and the Bear<\/em>, illustrated by S. D. Schindler<\/a><\/strong>, and Dominique Roques\u2019 Sleep Tight, Anna Banana!<\/em>, illustrated by Alexis Dormal (originally published in 2012 as Ana Ana Douce Nuit<\/em>). <\/p>\n

Below is some art from each book. <\/p>\n

Enjoy. <\/p>\n
