Grandpappy Snippy Snappies

32 pp. | HarperCollins | May, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-028050-5 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Christopher Santoro. By snapping his suspenders, Grandpappy frees cows from mud, moves a sheriff's car from atop bales of hay, and rights a derailed train. When the suspenders lose their snap, Grandpappy saves Grandmammy from marauding crows with his supercharged underwear. The rhyming, alliterative text and retro mixed-media illustrations are lively, but both verge on overwhelming the simple nonsense tale.
Reviewer: Sheila M. Geraty
