(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Marylin Hafner. Told in six short chapters, these contemporary tall tales center around the effects of "a no-account little tornado" on a group of animals from Barefoot Mountain, including the fantastic Sidehill Clinger and J. J. Jones, a harmonica-playing pig. The well-paced illustrations are playful if unremarkable. The narrative moves well, and the dialogue is lively.
