(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ted Rand. "Mother frowning, / Sarah, tall. / Bodice binding, / Dress, too small." Illustrated with cheerful, realistic watercolors, this story in rhyme follows colonial Sarah through many of her everyday chores, culminating in the day that her work provides her with new clothes. The telegraphic rhymes are sometimes choppy and grammatically muddled, but the portrait of colonial life is accurate and engaging.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
