Ackamarackus: Julius Lester's Sumptuously Silly Fantastically Funny Fables

48 pp. | Scholastic | March, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-590-48913-5 $$17.95
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Emilie Chollat. These six fables are by turns funny, serious, effective, and forced. Each features a different animal and alliteration for a different letter; amid many morals, a common thread is to appreciate yourself. Bright acrylic and collage pictures illustrate and exaggerate parts of the fables, where wisecracking contemporary animals reveal their lessons in ordinary type interspersed with phrases in different colors and fonts.
