Zemach, Harve

"One after another, five prisoners before the bench beg to be released on the grounds that they did not know they were breaking the law, they only reported what they saw...Told in wonderfully humorous illustrations and verse, with an ending that is a perfect climax to the suspenseful buildup."-Starred, Booklist A horrible thing is coming this way Creeping closer day by day--  Its eyes are scary,  Its tail is hairy... I tell you, Judge, we all better pray!Anxious prisoner after anxious prisoner echoes and embellishes this cry, but always in vain.  The fiery old Judge, impatient with such foolish nonsense, calls them scoundrels, ninnyhammers, and throws them all in jail.  But in the end, Justice is done--and the Judge is gone.  Head first!  Harve Zemach's cumulative verse tale is so infectious that children won't be able to avoid memorizing it.  And Margot Zemach's hilarious pictures are brimming with vitality as well as color.

Literature & Fiction

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)

The legendary, lovable little red hen, famous for her industriousness and independent spirit, returns with more verve than ever in Margot Zemach's interpretation of the classic story. Though small in stature, the little red hen comes through loud and clear when she asks her friends the goose, the cat, and the pig: "Who will plant this wheat?" When they reply "Not I!" our sturdy heroine, assisted by her brood of chicks, sets about planting the wheat herself. At each step along the way--harvesting, threshing, taking the grain to the mill--the little red hen's lazy friends refuse to lift hoof, paw, or wing to help. But when her efforts yield a warm, fragrant loaf of bread, the little red hen is glad to say: "Now I'm going to eat it myself!" "Zemach turns 'an old story' into a new, irresistible treat...Howlingly funny." --Publishers Weekly "A clean, attractive job, perfect for preschoolers and a welcome addition to the easy-story shelf." --Booklist "A fresh, animated, strongly characterized depiction of a classic nursery tale." --Kirkus Reviews
