Avalanche Annie: A Not-So-Tall Tale

32 pp. | Harcourt | October, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-15-216735-8 $$16.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kurt Cyrus. This rhyming story, which is fun to read aloud, tells how the diminutive Annie Halfpint tamed an avalanche. "She caught that slick slide-winder. / She tied that shoosher down. / She hitched it like a doggy-sled / and rode it into town." Action-packed illustrations, just right for a tall tale, give the stocky heroine plenty of personality.
Reviewer: Martha Sibert
