(4) K-3 Illustrated by Amy Meissner. Class clown Ollie Jolly saves the day in Tahoka when he uses his antics--appreciated by his classmates but deplored by his teacher, Miss Tut Tuttle--to distract a dangerous bull that has escaped from a visiting rodeo. Villain Shoat Shotley is suitably punished in this improbable take on the triumph-of-the-underdog tale. Fittingly, the book is illustrated with kinetic, cartoony images.
