The nieces have a book The Ugly Truckling.

The man's apparently written a whole slew of books like this.

Very cute illustrations, very cute book.

Interestingly enough, when asked (on the scene where the other trucklings are teasing the baby plane) what the mom should do, Ana answered "Say 'You should go and fine a new family'".

Well, that is the hidden moral of this story. Good that she picked it up.

On the subject of books, I'm a fool. I thought Mo Willems had signed their books with their names, a picture of Piggie, and the word no!, which made no sense to me.

Overnight it occurred to me that, duh, that's his handwriting, he wrote "Mo!" which is, of course, his name.

That makes a lot more sense now.

Competely off topic, but I know you're interested in promoting solar stoves and such, and while these don't specifically say "solar," I'm passing it on:

Those do much of the same good as fuel-free stoves, it sounds like. I'll post the link more prominently.
