(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kristin Sorra. Waltur learns the hard way about the meaning of three old sayings: "Don't buy a pig in a poke"; "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched"; and "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink." Lively watercolor illustrations enhance the humor; an endnote gives more information about the idioms.
