(2) PS In a clever twist on that old favorite beginning "this little piggy went to market," Martin has given us the astonishing true story behind each of the piggies' adventures. Meddaugh's illustrations here are reminiscent of those of the late lamented James Marshall in their affectionate tolerance for dumb humor, and show piggies eating and playing and just being excellent piggies in general. A diverting embellishment.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Susan Meddaugh. Seven-year-old Ben's parents always design his Halloween costume, and Ben is never happy about it. He's worn "a scratchy white rabbit suit," been an angel with "dumb cardboard wings," and suffered as--his mother's favorite--a bunch of grapes. But this year Ben declares he's going to make his own costume, and he has "the best Halloween of all." Meddaugh's high-spirited illustrations extend the amusing text.
