(4) K-3 Illustrated by Barry Root. Little Buddie Earl travels to the Peach-Pickin' Festival in the back of his father's old jalopy, yodeling along the way. The family wonders, "What’s the use of that?" until his talent eventually makes them all proud. The warm hues aptly portray the heat of the South, while the playful use of language and repetition makes for a genial read-out-loud. No source note is included for this adaptation of a Russian folktale.
