The Woman Who Won Things

80 pp. | Candlewick | May, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-1721-0 $$14.99
(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Katharine McEwen. In this follow-up to The Man Who Wore All His Clothes, Mrs. Gaskitt starts winning contests and the children get a cheerful substitute teacher who steals things. Alhberg uses his accomplished storytelling to tie these events together in a satisfying tale. The art, with its shallow perspective and childlike shapes, is as funny and offbeat as the chapter-book text.
