(2) K-3 Adapted from Farewell to the Farivox by Harry Hartwick. In this story set in 1916 Iowa, ten-year-old Tom is entranced by the rare "farivox" he glimpses inside a stranger's wagon. Impelled by the strange creature's plaintive plea for him to "hurry," Tom races home for money to buy the animal--but in the end he's too late. Masterfully composed watercolors accompany this mystery and parable about environmental concerns.
