The Flea's Sneeze

(4) PS Illustrated by Karla Firehammer. In a stylized "tumbledown barn," eleven animals sleep, until the flea sneezes loudly. The mouse hands over a tissue, and everyone settles down again--but now the pig's caught the flea's cold. This slender plot permits repetition of the long refrain of animals shown in the engaging earth-toned acrylic cartoons, while the verse, though sometimes forced, reads aloud effectively.
