Hannah and the Whistling Teakettle

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Diane Palmisciano. Before country-bred Hannah boards the bus to visit her grandparents in the city, she buys her grandmother a present: a whistling teakettle with a little red bird on the top. When robbers arrive in grandma's candy shop, we know the whistling bird will save the day. Skolsky has a wonderful time bringing the mayhem to its climax, and gently caricatured Hannah and her grandparents help keep the outrageous theatrics in comic perspective.
