(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Jon J Muth. Cora Lee's contrary Uncle Frank tells her a fish story about a grebe ("It's a bird... but it's more like a fish") named Putnam, who dives too deep and is trapped in a waterlocked cave. The adventure forms the bulk of the book, with Cora's comments and Frank's rejoinders as humorous commentary. Muth's pen drawings contribute nicely to this carefully crafted and engagingly offbeat depiction of a prickly, affectionate pair.
