Lucky Jake

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Wade Zahares. Jake and his prospector pa get a pet pig, which sets off a chain of events that leads to their prosperity. Pa talks about having good luck, but Jake believes less in luck and more in action. The sunny story is told in a deliberately deadpan, unruffled tone. The thickly applied, intensely colored pastel illustrations feature odd perspectives and deep purple shadows.
