(3) K-3 Illustrated by Matt Faulkner. Our argyle-sweater-clad, bow-tie-wearing protagonist goes to the "widder woman" for some "glue stew" to stick his scattered brains together. Country diction in the riddle-rich narrative and Faulkner's crosshatched artwork (which throws plenty of winks to readers) combine for a great tall tale.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
