Mr. Nogginbody Gets a Hammer

(2) K-3 A neat lesson in perseverance goes entertainingly out of control when Mr. Nogginbody (he looks like an egg) concludes that his new hammer can fix anything that looks like a nail. His triumphant, oblivious shouts of "Fixed it!" accompany a succession of mishaps including a smashed lamp and a flattened field of daisies. He eventually learns a Lesson about force not always being the best solution. Shannon's bold and up-close pictures of the chaos gleefully capture the indiscriminate mayhem.
