(3) K-3 Illustrated by Henri Sørensen. Unappreciated aging farm donkey Ol' Bloo sets his sights on a singing career in New Orleans. En route, he meets three equally tone-deaf animal friends, and together they inadvertently thwart some thieving humans. In this "Bremen Town Musicians" retelling, Huling goes whole hog with her Southern-flavored narration and dialogue ("Why, I'll be a batter-fried wing-ding"), tempered by Sørensen's subdued oil paintings.
