(2) K-3 In this companion to Fearless Jack, the trickster hero repeatedly hoodwinks a two-headed, slow-witted giant and his wife. Johnson interweaves several familiar motifs from many traditions while bringing an authentic mountain twang to his telling. Johnson's lively acrylics leave no doubt that these events are as comical as they are suspenseful; the equally lively dialogue makes this an especially good read-aloud.
