The Ballad of Nessie

32 pp. | Disney | May, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4231-2218-0 $14.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Andy Harkness. Based on a Disney animated short film, this is the tale of how sea monster Nessie is forced from her home by a mini-golf-course developer. This sad event leads to many tears, which results in formation of her own loch. It's not much of a story, but Nessie's pluck and the Scots-inflected rhymes are uplifting. The Disneyfied art is smooth, assured, and obviously made by pros.
