(3) K-3 Illustrated by Scott Nash. Spunky Betsy, the shepherdess in this tongue-in-cheek inversion, sticks to her guns when the townsfolk believe she's only crying wolf about a threat to the flock. Sly, cartoony, pastoral illustrations with amusing speech-bubble asides show Betsy riding herd on some rambunctious sheep (the text says they're "too close to the cliff"; the art shows them rappelling) and taming the wolf by sharing her lunch.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
