Mary Had a Little Lamp

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bob Staake. No, that's not a typo in the title. Mary's little lamp--"the bendy, gooseneck kind"--is her constant companion, a fact that draws concern from her parents, teachers, and classmates. After a summer away at camp, though, Mary learns she can have fun without her electrical appliance. Digital illustrations that make striking (sometimes startling) use of basic shapes match this quirky nursery-rhyme adaptation.
