Hardcover. Condition: Good. Floca, Brian (illustrator). From BooklistAges 6^-8. Clemmon Hardigree, "a hard-scrabble, hard-luck farmer," never had any luck. When he goes into dairy farming, the pasture collapses from the weight of the cows. But Clemmon doesn't give up--he plants potatoes instead. The potatoes grow so big, Clemmon can fit only one at a time on the back of his pickup. When the first one is sliced open, out walks one of Clemmon's cows. "By the time Clemmon finished saving all his cows, he had a mountain range of potato chunks. He sawed them into planks and sold them to a lumber company." Ketteman has a firm grasp on the humor and stylistic elements of the tall tale. Her narrative voice is bemused yet down-to-earth, retaining its laconic style even as the situation becomes more and more outlandish. Reminiscent of James Stevenson's illustrations, Floca's watercolors effectively complement the increasingly outrageous plot and add punch to a very funny tale. Even Floca's cows have personality and presence. Janice Del NegroProduct DescriptionHardscrabble Tennessee farmer Clemmon Hardigree's hard-luck changes when he plants seed potatoes in Cow Hollow before his fat mountain cows cause the pasture to collapseFrom School Library JournalGrade 1-4?A modern tall tale that begs to be read aloud in your best Tennessee mountain twang. Clemmon Hardigree is a hardscrabble, hard-luck farmer whose every effort ends in disaster. His unique mountain cows grow so fat that the pasture caves in, creating what is known to this day as Cow Hollow. Clem spends his last few dollars on seed potatoes to plant in that Hollow and they grow so fast that they cause earthquakes and so big that just one fills the back of his truck. Finally, one of these giant spuds gets away from him and earns him a fortune. Floca's watercolor cartoonstyle paintings are reminiscent of James Stevenson's work, full of asides that sparkle with humor. Don't miss the fun!?Virginia Opocensky, formerly at Lincoln City Libraries, NECopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Jabar, Cynthia (illustrator). First Edition. From BooklistAges 5^-8. In a world where only birds croon, a young frog wants to do the unspeakable--sing. Mocked by his fellow frogs and scorned by the birds, he feels "mighty bad, mighty sad, mighty mad, and mighty frustrated," but he doesn't give up. Brother Fox gives him his first break on the Big Time Weekly Concert, which begins in disaster and ends in triumph. Frog introduces "what we now call Boogie-woogie" with his "dooba dooba doos," and "that is how Rhythm and Blues was born." Appended "backstage notes" add a few bits of boogie-woogie history. Goss, an award-winning storyteller, has honed her story well, effectively repeating phrases, and so skillfully shifting the tempo that readers will be snapping their fingers. Told in a distinctly African American syntax and diction, not dialect, this begs to be read aloud. Jabar's vigorous scratchboard illustrations are a perfect fit, portraying a dynamic forest nightlife in vibrant colors. The emphasis on Frog's self-determination, clearly but not intrusively instructive, adds a moral dimension, and music notation on the endpapers offers an added dimension. Of all the book's virtues, however, the best is its charm. Linda PerkinsProduct DescriptionThe birds are the only animals that sing in the forest, but a frog with a powerful desire to make music gets his chanceFrom Publishers WeeklyA frustrated amphibian with a dream propels this picture book about the power of self-confidence. More than anything, Frog longs to belt out his soulful songs before an audience. However, the birds are the only beasts in the forest to land a singing gig, and-along with most of the other animals-they laugh at Frog's aspirations. ("Fool, you crazy? Frogs don't sing in this place"). But buoyed by his parents' support and his need to express his talent, Frog books himself at the Big Time Weekly Concert, where, after an embarrassing bout of stage fright, he lets loose with a boogie-woogie solo. A huge hit, he inspires a number of dance crazes among his fans. Goss's (coauthor of Talk That Talk) chatty, laid-back, blues-infused storytelling ("Have you ever been frustrated? That's right, I said frustrated. Tell the truth now") immediately wins the attention of readers, and her sympathetic tone leads children through the somewhat lengthy text at a good pace. Jabar's (No Hickory, No Dickory, No Dock) vibrantly colored scratchboard characters on black backgrounds take center stage. Such spirited yet sweet scenes as Frog crooning with eyes closed and a huge grin on his face, or parting his "hair," and elephants gleefully doing the bump are particularly memorable. An author's note discusses the African roots of blues music and its offshoots in American popular music. Ages 4-8.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.From School Library JournalKindergarten-Grade 3?Little Frog "feels mighty bad, mighty sad, mighty mad, and mighty frustrated!" He wants to be a singer, and he knows he has talent, but in his part of the woods only birds are allowed to sing. He finally convinces Brother Fox, the boss of the Big Time Weekly Concert, to let him be the opening act for the popular Friday show. When the big night arrives, stage fright sets in and Frog must find the strength to turn a bad situation around with "The-Show-Must-Go-On" finesse. This upbeat pourquoi tale has definite soul with Boogie-woogie undertones. Youngsters will relate to Frog's feelings and will admire his initiative to turn a failure into a success, just by being himself. This picture book has some backstage notes about Frog's "dooba dooba" tune and explains its role as the root of Rhythm and Blues. Traditional Boogie-woogie patterns appear on the endpapers. Jabar's clever scratchboard illustrations complement the lively text with vivid colors and bold use of line. A creative selection that is conducive to storytelling.?Kathy Mitchell, Gadsden Co.
