(3) K-3 Illustrated by S. D. Schindler. As young men, the narrator's grandfathers experience the Massachusetts blizzard of 1888 quite differently. Gregarious Walt was stranded alone in a barn; shy Fred in a crowded inn. Both assert that his was the "worst possible place," but Schindler's lively pen-and-ink illustrations tell a different story. The book's bifurcated telling demands careful attention, but once the pattern is established it's very funny.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
