(1) 1-3 Illustrated by David Parkins. This beguiling collection features two previously published (as picture books) Aunt Nancy tales and two new trickster stories, in a smaller trim size illustrated mainly with silhouettes. Root's folksy style shines in every sentence, her storyteller's voice carrying the reader through each account with ease. Parkins's wit shows itself in the droll silhouettes that milk body language for all it's worth.
