Queenie Farmer Had Fifteen Daughters

32 pp. | Harcourt/Silver Whistle | May, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-15-201933-2 $$16.00
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Holly Meade. Queenie's husband walked off after the simultaneous births of their fifteen daughters. Unfazed, Queenie is a hard-working single mother who indulges her daughters to the max. The message concerning the competent, ever-coping mother is hardly subtle, but the repetitive litanies and comical accumulations of detail keep this engaging tall tale light, as do the airy pen lines dappled in cheerful watercolors.
