(3) K-3 Illustrated by Irene Haas. This bouncy tale is back with new full-color illustrations done by the book's original illustrator. Based on a folk song (music is appended), this is the story of a little man who trades everything he gets, eventually ending up with what he started with. The book's long rectangular shape is used cleverly in double-page spreads that pull the action along.
