(3) K-3 Illustrated by John Kanzler. Storyteller MacDonald offers an enjoyable version of this cumulative tale, in which an old woman can't return to her little boy because her pig refuses to cross a bridge on the way home from the market. Two brief songs (music is included) encourage listener participation. Lively illustrations provide humorous portrayals of the story's stubborn animal characters.
