Rip Van Winkle's Return

32 pp. | Farrar | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-36308-6 $17.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Leonard Everett Fisher. Don't be fooled by the title, which suggests a sequel: this is a straightforward (if wordy) retelling of Washington Irving's classic cautionary tale about the dangers of lazing one's life away (although Kimmel does give Rip the opportunity to redeem himself). The accompanying paintings, with key characters and objects smartly outlined in black, are historically accurate.
