Larky Mavis

32 pp. | Farrar | August, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-374-34365-9 $$16.00
(1) K-3 Sprightly ink and watercolor artwork illustrates the story of Larky Mavis, who finds a peanut-shell "baby," which others declare is a worm, a mouse, even (as it grows) a dragon. When a mob converges to take away Mavis's mysterious bundle, an angel emerges from her arms and hoists her into the air, taking her who knows where. Brock Cole adds an enchanting spiritual dimension to his usual blithe farce.
