(3) K-3 Illustrated by Keith Graves. In this cumulative tale, farmer Desert Rose asks a host of obstinate creatures--and one contrary cowpoke--to help bring her stubborn pig to the state fair. The text's alliterative, Texas-style exclamations ("bite my boots," "pickle my pistols") demand to be read aloud. Acrylic illustrations show drowsy-eyed animals not at all inclined to lend a hand.
