K-3Brand New Readers series.
Illustrated by
Wong Herbert Yee.
In four brief stories designed for beginning readers, Eddie steals eggs, greedily cleans out a jam jar, digs a hole, and runs from a skunk. Each story has a short introductory summary; simple, repetitive language; and a humorous twist at the end, with Eddie landing in some kind of trouble. Soft watercolor and ink illustrations boost the humor and the child appeal.
