(2) K-3 Illustrated by Ed Emberley. The Emberleys paint the tall-tale figure as a strong and mighty but also a "kind and gentle," larger-than-life hero. Barbara Emberley's text is appropriately folksy and engaging, while Ed Emberley's iconic woodcuts--using pine hand-split by the illustrator himself--in browns and blues stand up to The Horn Book Magazine's original assessment: "A striking graphic arts achievement."
