The Huckabuck Family and How They Raised Popcorn in Nebraska and Quita

(2) K-3 Illustrated by David Small. This selection from Sandburg's Rootabaga Stories is subtly sophisticated, rooted in recognizable fairy-tale conventions, and tempered with homespun ambiance. Figures are drawn in a style reminiscent of the regional artists of the thirties; they are always in action, a feeling reinforced by the artist's agile line washed in colors suggestive of the prairie setting.
Reviewer: Mary M. Burns | Horn Book Magazine Issue: September, 1999
