(3) K-3 Illustrated by Luanne Wrenn. Sam is excited about his first hunting trip with his friend Eric and Eric's father. Sam's own parents don't like the sport, but they want him to make up his own mind. A day of deer sightings and gunshots yields no game, and Sam feels conflicted about his relief. Illustrated with dark paintings, the story effectively and nonjudgmentally portrays hunters and nonhunters.
Reviewer: Luther B. Clegg
