(2) K-3 Illustrated by Henry Cole. When red-haired Nelly May heads up the hill in search of employment with Lord Pinkwinkle, the requirements of the job are to memorize his eccentric names for things: water is "rivertrickle," boots are "stompinwhackers," etc. DeFelice and Cole do a fine job of amending an absurdist English folktale; Cole's illustrations don't try to be too clever, and forefronted action makes it perfect for storytime.
