The Perfect Hamburger and Other Delicious Stories

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Laura Rankin. In "The Perfect Hamburger," Joe helps save a local institution when he discovers the key ingredient for exceptional hamburgers. Nicky and John help their vegetable-loving aunt find happiness in "The Spaghetti Tangle." In "The Doughnut Ring," Jim starts an e-mail chain resulting in millions of doughnuts. McCall Smith's over-the-top humor is tempered by Rankin's relatively restrained black-and-white illustrations.
