Reissue (1979, Greenwillow)
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Quentin Blake. Told in the manner of a folktale, the story relates how seven washerwomen, disgruntled with their jobs, go berserk. They splash passersby with muddy water, raise havoc in the marketplace, etc.--until meeting their matches in seven woodcutters. The expressive illustrations--caricature line drawings washed with color--continuously echo and expand the preposterous, joyful text's often understated humor.
