The Neat Line: Scribbling through Mother Goose

32 pp. | HarperCollins/Tegen | May, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-06-623970-2 $15.99 | Library ISBN 0-06-623971-0 $16.89
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Diana Cain Bluthenthal. After a young scribble learns to be a Neat Line, it travels through a Mother Goose book helping the characters in the rhymes. It draws, for example, a large bird to protect Miss Muffet and makes a non-slippery path for Jack and Jill. The Line is a refreshingly different character, and the illustrations create an enjoyable book within a book.
