(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Hohn. Hallie Morse Daggett dreamed of joining the US Forest Service to fight fires in California's Siskiyou Mountains--an unheard-of goal for a woman at the turn of the previous century. But Hallie persisted and was finally hired as a fire lookout in 1913. She spent fifteen fire seasons in a primitive mountain cabin reporting on smoke and flames, contending with fierce electrical storms, and fending off wild animals. Bissonette's engaging portrayal of a self-assured and determined figure is enhanced by Hohn's imaginative illustrations. An author's note provides more detail and includes three black-and-white archival photos.

(4) PS Illustrated by David Hohn. "How much love does God have for me?" God's love is "More...Higher...Deeper..." and reciprocated by the children in these stories. Rhyming text and softly washed illustrations provide child-friendly, if random, images (e.g., a hippo splashes joyfully into a puddle to demonstrate how big God's love is; a girl's wall-decorating finger painting shows how useful her God-created hands can be). Review covers these titles: God Loves Me More than That and When God Created My Toes.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Hohn. More for devotees than folklore enthusiasts, this illustrated volume lacks source notes and is heavy on the fairy dust and light on actual lore, but fairy fans will enjoy the friendly guidebook-like format. Ten chapters cover different areas of the world, including Polynesia and the Arctic. The authors' secrets for atttracting little people include craft projects and recipes to present as gifts.
