(4) K-3 Illustrated by Shannon Cartwright. Occasionally awkward rhyming verse relates a tall tale about a woman who digs for gold and creates the Yukon River, then enters a dog sled race with a grizzly and wolverines for a team. The playful illustrations are a good match for the story, and Alaskans will recognize the hardy Sitka rose decorating the art.
