(3) K-3 Illustrated by Cat Bowman Smith. Auctions make Aunt Lou tick, but she has a bidding nemesis, Miss Logsdon. When Aunt Lou's niece settles on an old straw hat, she enters the bidding war and becomes the first to out-bid the dueling ladies. Smith's red-faced bidders, dapper auctioneer, and tabletops with old china, antlers, and a stuffed groundhog perfectly animate the humor in this country event.
Reviewer: Hilary Breed Van Dusen
