The Low-Down Laundry Line Blues

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Christine Davenier. A girl with the "hangin' round," "draggin' down" blues resists her younger sister's suggestions that they play hopscotch or go roller-skating but finally gives in when a clothesline becomes an irresistible jumping rope. Rhythm-and-blues-inspired language and vibrant loose line go from languid to lively in this mood piece of a picture book.
