(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin O'Malley. Root introduces legendary lumberjack Paul's outsize "little" sister, who sets off for the North Woods, where she'll have some space. The hyperbole-strewn story suffers from a lack of plot, but O'Malley does a fine job of capturing each dramatic episode (Paula befriends a bear, sics mosquitoes on some tree-felling lumberjacks, etc.) in his large-scale illustrations, which have a fittingly woodblockish quality.
