Dumpy La Rue

40 pp. | Holt | May, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6385-4 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Betsy Lewin. When Dumpy the pig decides that he wants to dance, his family and the other barnyard animals try to discourage him. His enthusiasm wins them over, however, and soon the whole group boogies around the farm. The uneven text, which sometimes rhymes and sometimes doesn't, fails to live up to the promise of Lewin's humorous illustrations, done in black brush line and fluid watercolors.
