Little Devils

(3) K-3 When their mum gets caught in a trap, her Tasmanian devil cubs Big Stanley, Burnie, and Winnie rise to the occasion. Soft-edged oil paintings in muted hues extend the story nicely, and the Australian terminology (e.g., "footy ball") adds an element of interest. Though somewhat anthropomorphized in terms of facial expressions, the animals' habits and appearances are generally realistic.
