(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wendy Watson. Narrator Jack and his siblings Maybelle and Eddie look forward to a delicious potato fry with spuds they glean from a neighbor's field. But the siblings' harvest turns out to be more stone than starch, and their proud Ma makes them return what they took. The old-fashioned-looking illustrations, done in muted earth tones, enhance the story's gentle lesson in integrity.
