Catfish Kate and the Sweet Swamp Band

32 pp. | Atheneum | May, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-4026-5 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Elwood H. Smith. Catfish Kate's all-girl band is disturbing Skink and his Skunktail Boys, who are trying to read. So begins a swamp war ultimately squelched by Kate's clever thinking. Young readers will get a kick out of this lesson in conflict resolution (Skink: "What's a compromise?"), while older kids may observe a gender war peacefully quelled. The art features pint-sized characters with jumbo personalities.
