Abigail Muchmore: An Original Tale

32 pp. | Cavendish | March, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-7614-5116-1 $$16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Susan Havice. Unflappable Abigail Muchmore keeps her farm tidy in spite of Mr. West Wind's antics. But when he blows her dog into the next county, she feels that he has gone too far. Grambling gets the countrified narration just right--"Matilda Pickerel...loved sour things (she married Jasper, didn't she?)"--and Havice's watercolors, in which Mr. West Wind has the head of a regular-looking guy, are admirably understated.
