(4) K-3 Illustrated by Cat Bowman Smith. Young Maggie wants to be "the loudest, fastest, best drummer in the State of Kansas." Unfortunately, her noise is so deafening that Mayor Plogg makes drumming illegal. When a tornado hits, Maggie breaks the law and quells the storm, thereby becoming a hero. Though humorous, this tall tale is overly wordy. The Sunday-comics-style illustrations are suitably exaggerated.
