(3) K-3 Illustrated by Britt Spencer. Good-natured yokel Quantz gets fleas from a dog. He then trades them for a passerby's annoying uncle, whom he trades for some Limburger cheese, and so on, until he's left with what he thinks is a worthless bone. Told with a rural twang and illustrated with comical down-home mixed-media illustrations, the story stays one satisfying step ahead of readers to the end.
