Illustrated by
Scott Nash.
Grandpa's overalls get a mind of their own and hightail it out the kitchen door. Grandma raises such a ruckus that she wakes the whole farmhouse, and soon everyone--including the neighbors--is chasing the overalls, because, as Grandpa puts it, "A man can't work in nothin' but his long-handled drawers." Nash's watercolor illustrations are full of motion and enhance the playful text.
