Old Dry Frye: A Deliciously Funny Tall Tale

32 pp. | Scholastic | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-590-37658-6 $$15.95
(3) K-3 When Old Dry Frye, a preacher with a passion for fried chicken, chokes to death on a bone, his hosts, fearing charges of murder, set off an outrageous chain of events that ends when a cranky horse carries the preacher away. In the energetic illustrations for this humorous new version of an Appalachian tale, Johnson suggests that Old Dry Frye may have survived his ordeal after all.
