Just Right Stew

32 pp. | Boyds | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 1-56397-487-8
(4) K-3 Victoria watches as her mother and aunts try to get the recipe for Big Mama's oxtail stew just right in time for Big Mama's birthday celebration. Everyone argues about what they believe the secret ingredient must be, but only Victoria and her grandmother know what it really is. The oil paintings are inconsistent and do not always match the text, but they convey the humor of the family bickering.
