Olivia Goes to Venice
by Ian Falconer (Atheneum, $18. Ages 3 to 7).
The little piggie brings her famously buoyant ego to the Floating City. We wouldn't miss this one for all the gelato in Italy (if there's any left after her visit, that is). Comes out: September 28.

Knuffle Bunny Free
by Mo Willems (Balzer & Bray, $18. Ages 3 to 7).
Trixie and her beloved stuffed toy get a taste of transatlantic travel. Spoiler alert: That typically punny Willems title is meant very literally, so keep tissues at the ready. Comes out: September 28.

Max & Ruby's Bedtime Book
by Rosemary Wells (Viking, $18. Ages 3 and up).
The sweet siblings star in a trio of just-one-more stories about school, swimming and make-believe. As always, the tales are as cozy as, well, bedtime. Comes out: September 21.
