The Bicklebys' Birdbath

(3) PS Illustrated by Roberta Angaramo. In this cumulative tale told in reverse, the story's final event--a mail carrier falls into a birdbath--is presented first. As the story unfolds, readers learn step-by-step what led to the mailman's tumble and what started it all: "the girl with the long leaky hose / that squirted the flock full of curious crows." Lively illustrations accompany this jaunty take on the House-That-Jack-Built classic.
