(2) K-3 Johnson draws on tales he heard as a boy for this lively updated rendition of Appalachian variants of European tales about the boy hero-trickster. The aw-shucks tone is just right for this wily, self-deprecating hero. Johnson sets the wide-eyed Jack's agile pranks in sweeping landscapes whose spare detail is a fine foil for the humorous characterizations and the delicious perils that ensue.
