The Ears of Corn: An Ike and Mem Story

63 pp. | Holiday | November, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8234-1770-0 $$15.95
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Anna Alter & Anna Alter. Ike is angry about all the chores he and his sister, Mem, have to do when they visit their grandparents' farm, but announcing his anger in the cornfield only results in feelings of guilt and imagined whisperings. The series is generally appealing in its eccentricities, but this entry seems a little dark and tonally confused: the grandparents are hard on the poor kids, so why do Ike and Mem feel guilty?
