The Adventures of Granny Clearwater & Little Critter

32 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | October, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-7899-2 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Laura Huliska-Beith. While the Clearwater family is heading West, Granny and "Little Critter" are thrown from the wagon and must find their way back, surviving by Granny's wits. Employing tongue-in-cheek Western twang and vocabulary, Holt seems more interested in introducing readers to a time and place in America's past than in telling a story--a problem offset somewhat by the tall-tale-teasing art.
