(3) K-3 Illustrated by Deborah Zemke. Shannon describes life on Wise Acres farm in three very funny short stories. The farm animals have unusual talents and interests--the turkey plays the banjo, the pig practices fancy dives, and the sheep waits by the mailbox for mail. Illustrations depict a bucolic scene with anthropomorphized farm animals, and readers will laugh at the stories' absurd solutions.
