	Bamboo and Friends: The Mushroom Ring	Felicia Law	Bamboo and his friends, Velvet and Beak, are sitting on a log in the middle of the magical forest once again. This time Bamboo is wondering about fairies. He thinks that fairies and mushrooms must have some connection with each other. Velvet observes that fairies are sparkly and sweet, but Beak has had enough of their nonsense. He informs the others that fairies are not real. They are make-believe and they do not eat mushrooms. Velvet insists that fairies do exist and that they plant mushrooms in magic rings. And, sure enough, a circle of mushrooms is growing just across the clearing. Beak explains why the mushrooms are growing in that formation. No fairies are involved. Bamboo listens patiently and then announces that nature lessons are too puzzling. Large, colorful illustrations show the three animal friends (a panda, a zebra, and a puffin), the mushroom ring, and the lovely fairies of their imaginations. Several inserts in small type provide factual information, including the danger of eating wild mushrooms if they have not been correctly identified. This topic will be less familiar to most children than those of the previous books in the series.	300

	The MushroomCenter Disaster	N. M. Bodecker	"To you, perhaps, the remains of a picnic dropped somewhere in the woods doesn't mean much.

Such is the plight of The Mushroom Center Disaster when Beetle and his friends find a plan to turn bad fortune into progress. The important issues of littering and recycling, as well as cooperative community-building are illuminated by Bodecker and Blegvad's rare imagination, their glorious sense of both the absurd and the just, and firsthand knowledge of country living.

	The Mushroom Man	Ethel Pochocki	There once was a man who spent his days in the dark. He worked in a mushroom farm, and people called him the mushroom man, for he even resembled the crop he tended. Children teased him on the street, but the man had been blessed with a cheerful disposition. He was, for the most part, content—but he was lonely. He decides that a pet might be a friend and accept him as he is, and takes in a beautiful stray cat. But the animal, a born wanderer, leaves him. Finally he cautiously befriends just the right animal for him, a mole. Pochocki shows their developing friendship as they share truffles and Christmas gifts, both concluding that the very best gift is having a friend. This is a sweet, quiet story with a special message. Moser's realistic pictures are dark with just a glimmer of light. They reinforce the quiet, emotive quality of the narrative and are a fine accompaniment to the story. Ages 8 – 12. 26 pages.	200
