(2) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. The Widow Jones inherits thirty-five million dollars and a ranch in By Golly Gully, Texas. Little does she know that everything grows bigger in Texas, including tortoises, potatoes that "took only seven of them to make a dozen," and a "watermelon [that] fed everyone on the ranch for a month." Colored-pencil and acrylic illustrations in sunbaked tones complement this engaging tall tale's hyperbole.
