YOUNGER FICTION
(4) K-3 Kate bravely maintains the lighthouse through weeks of storms, while Papa goes for food. Written with a sense of a young girl's longing for privacy, for grown-up responsibility, and for fairy-tale romance, the text moves quickly through several dramatic (and sometimes contrived) adventures--including rescuing what seems to be a real mermaid and her baby--with pencil illustrations adding liveliness. A note about lighthouses is appended.
