One Fine Trade

32 pp. | Holiday | March, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8234-1836-7 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Will Hillenbrand. A backwoods peddler barters for a wedding dress for his daughter. Although the sequence of trades seems unnecessarily random, and the ending is adult (implying a reluctance on the bridegroom's part not earlier evident), the author's language is lively and engaging, and the refrain ("And one fine trade it is!") should hold readers' interest. Warm, cheerful watercolors add appeal and humor.
