(4) K-3 Illustrated by Zachary Pullen. Tommy comes from a hockey family, but he's too shy to play on a team. Tommy's hockey-legend grandfather works with him on the frozen ponds, and when his brother's team needs help, it's (a reluctant) Tommy's turn for glory. His miracle-on-ice turnaround seems a stretch, but character-driven oil paintings present a humorous juxtaposition of a nervous freckled boy and a face-painted, referee-taunting grandfather.
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
