(2) K-3 Illustrated by Terry Widener. In this stalwart and spirited tall tale, a female fishing prodigy harbors the decidedly un-p.c. ambition of catching the world's largest mammal and wants to prove once and for all that she's the "World's Best Fisherman." Widener's rounded figures look as if they might have been made by Fisher-Price, in keeping with the narrative's playful delivery and air of embellishment.
