The Grudge Keeper

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Eliza Wheeler. In Bonnyripple, "ruffled feathers, petty snits," etc. are taken to old Cornelius, the Grudge Keeper, who stows them away in his cottage's nooks and crannies. When wind tosses the quibbles about, burying Cornelius, villagers ban together to dig him out, working out their wrinkles. Clever details in Wheeler's pen, ink, and watercolor illustrations support Rockliff's parable about getting along by letting things go.
