(4) K-3 Illustrated by Barry Root. The author has transposed her recollections of childhood games into a tale of five giants at play. The unlucky fifth giant, who is always "it," is the only one who can count. The "one potata, two potata..." rhyme to determine who is "it" is incorporated into the brief text, and the giants are amusingly depicted as they run off in the four directions of the earth, but the story is negligible.
