Sorry

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Brad Sneed. Brothers Ebenezer and Obadiah live happily together on their farm until one day when Obadiah complains of lumps in the oatmeal and Ebenezer dumps the bowl on his head. A generations-long feud ensues, ended only when one of their great-grandsons utters the word that might have averted the whole familial catastrophe: "Sorry." The gangly expressiveness of Sneed's watercolors fits this outsized story to a T.
