(4) K-3 An elementary school student announces that a mystery man tripped her and stole her book report. So begins an epidemic of like-themed student tales of questionable veracity. The story is droll and unpredictable, but young audiences won't necessarily get the titular reference or the reason for the olde London touches in the broad watercolor illustrations.
