Martin, Bill, Jr.

"Fire! Fire!" Said Mrs. McGuire

32 pp. | Harcourt | May, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-15-205725-0 $16.00
New ed. (1971)
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Vladimir Radunsky. In Radunsky's interpretation of Martin's rhyme, a group of mice worries about the flame they see through a keyhole (several pages feature cut-outs through which readers can spy the fire). When the mice finally pass through the door, they find that the flame is coming from a harmless birthday candle. Radunsky's textured and expressive signature style is on full display.
