(3) K-3 Illustrated by S. D. Schindler. A plain straw hat is a much improved gift when it finally reaches its destination in Illinois with the help of some travelers heading west circa 1840. The period story gives a sense of nineteenth-century life--from its curious conveyances to the sense of adventure. While simplistic at times, the folk-art-like illustrations provide a homey, comfortable atmosphere.
