(4) K-3 Illustrated by Catherine Stock. Bradley tells his class a story about his two neighbors: Uncle Ed Lee, "lazy to the core," wants to befriend tidy Miss Viola, who won't visit until he cleans up his messy yard. Detailed watercolors capture the African-American characters' expressions. Readers are left hanging at the story's end, though, as the book begins in the classroom but never returns.
