Little Old Big Beard and Big Young Little Beard: A Short and Tall Tale

32 pp. | Cavendish | September, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-7614-5142-0 $$16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Remy Charlip & Tamara Rettenmund. Two cowboys lose their beloved cow Grace. After much fruitless searching, both cowboys start crying. Luckily, Grace finds them before Little Old Big Beard drowns in their tears. Using repetition, comparison, and hyperbole, this humorous tale highlights physical characteristics. The book's lanky trim size and watercolor illustrations accentuate the height differences between the two friends.
