The Sleeping Beauty: Silver Anniversary Edition

Trina Schart Hyman. Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, $15.95 (48pp) ISBN 978-0-316-38702-6

Also celebrating an anniversary--its 30th--is Whose Mouse Are You? by Robert Kraus, illus. by Jose Aruego. Minimalist art and memorable text are more than the sum of its parts: ""Whose mouse are you?/ Nobody's mouse./ Where is your mother?/ Inside a cat,"" it begins forlornly, but reverses into a joyful ending, with the mouse reuniting his far-flung family and gaining a new brother.
