Tumbleweed Baby

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Charles Vess. In Nowhere, Texas, the five Upagainstit siblings find a baby in a tumbleweed. Despite the "littlest-of-all" girl's wishes, they bring Tumbleweed Baby home--where she wreaks havoc. The nonsensical story will prompt a chorus of "Why?" and "How?" from listeners, but the ending helps bring it all together. The inconsistent figures in the ink and colored-pencil illustrations befit the odd tale.
