The Two Sillies

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Lynne Cravath. When Silly Lilly admires Sammy's cat and asks how to get one, he gives her step-by-step instructions that seem to make no sense at all: cut down some trees, build a shed, buy a cow, and milk the cow. Voilà! A cat! Sammy's fear of mice is handled by similar instructions from Lilly. Short sentences use monosyllabic words and rhyme to great effect. The brightly colored cartoon-style art adds just the right touch of exaggerated humor.
