(2) K-3 Illustrated by Barbara McClintock. Here's a recipe for an old favorite: Take Jacobs's "The Old Woman and Her Pig," temper the threatened violence, and add a handsome farmer. Plump up the tale with extra words, though not enough to interfere much with its pell-mell trajectory, and top with a humorously expressive, delicately characterized cast. Yield: one picture book, a bit sweeter and less assertive in flavor; still, good nutritional value.
