Tomie dePaola's Front Porch Tales & North Country Whoppers

56 pp. | Putnam | October, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-24754-5 $17.99
(3) K-3 Each of four sections (one per season) includes one or two stories and a running comic strip poking affectionate fun at tourists. Regional dialect ("aiyah") adds flavor to the tales, which are based on shaggy-dog stories and "obscure folktales." Though the stories will best be appreciated by dePaola's northern New England neighbors, the artist's warm, inviting illustrations will have wide appeal. Glos.
