(4) K-3 To fetch water from the well, Jack and Jill must first appease a giant crocodile who lives inside. For each offering (a ham and the family cow), they get a wish. The second wish breaks a curse that had transformed their long-lost father into the crocodile. Told in somewhat forced rhyme, Kirk's humorous retelling is original, as are the colorful, textured gouache and colored-pencil illustrations.
