(4) K-3 While canoeing on a lake, young Hattie befriends an underwater monster she names Hudson. When other boaters spot him, they panic, and later conspire to banish "the Deadly Beast," so Hattie and Hudson hatch a plan to prove his goodness. Van Dusen's shimmery gouaches command attention, but his plotting is somewhat routine and lengthy. Still, the message about being open-minded about differences is apt.
