Wisteria Jane: Bingo Did It!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ard Hoyt. Wisteria Jane is back for another lesson (Wisteria Jane); here she keeps blaming her dog Bingo when they get into trouble. Finally, Wisty's mother teaches her about "taking responsibility" for her actions. Despite the story's obvious message and old-fashioned language, Wisty is authentically childlike in processing the concept. The sketchlike illustrations have a throwback feel that suits the story's gentle mishaps and emotions.
