(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jane Manning & Jane Manning. In this answer to the "Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe" rhyme, a crotchety crone buys "KIDDIE-BE-GONE" from a witch to subdue the noisy brood living in the famous shoe next door. The plan backfires when her potion turns the kids into grumpy, grouchy old folks. Manning's comical, slightly grotesque, strangely proportioned illustrations clinch the deal.
