Illustrated by
Holly Meade.
When Virginnie's hat gets blown into a tree, she throws her boots up to knock it loose. Unbeknownst to her, some swamp critters are attracted by her red-painted toes. Luckily, they're scared away by the plummeting boots and Virginnie's triumphant yell when the hat falls. Watercolor and collage illustrations handily portray the drama unfolding underfoot while Virginnie's back is turned.
