(4) K-3 Illustrated by Don Daily. In this adaptation of two southern folktales, young Callie Ann outwits the crafty, honey-loving Mistah Bear, who, disguised as a gentleman, comes courting her mother. Although the use of dialect seems contrived at times, the book is a worthy read-aloud. Oversized, humor-filled illustrations extend the text, and a source note at the back provides careful documentation.
