Ugh by Arthur Yorinks
An unrespected caveboy named Ugh sees the invention of the wheel and creates a bicycle which only he can ride. The pictures are mediocre and portray cavemen with dinosaurs in this fictional picture book.

I, Doko by Ed Young
This story is told from the perspective of a large basket (doko in Nepalese). It follows the basket's life with a family from young to old. The pictures are quite beautiful as Mr. Ed Young is a Caldecott Medalist.

My Mei Mei by Ed Young

A little girl wants a Mei Mei (little sister in Chinese) and helps her mom blow her nose and changes her dad's diapers to practice being a big sister. Once the new little sister arrives, there is some brief jealously before she learns to love the new family member.
