(4) K-3 Each year when the carnival comes to town, Etta vows to ride the Ferris wheel, but when the times comes, she's always too afraid. A quietly intense first-person narrative gives new life to the well-worn theme of learning to overcome one's fears. Sun-burnished gouache illustrations rendered on canvas add a reassuring, if occasionally overly nostalgic, feel.
