(2) K-3 Illustrated by Sandy Turner. Steig takes a gentle cowpoke at the conventions of cowboy poetry with these three tales from Gizzard's Grill, the center of the action in the small dusty town of Fiasco. The rhymes are clever and read aloud well, and Steig wisely allows the stories to govern the wordplay rather than the other way around. Turner's illustrations are loopily droll and expertly caricatured.
