Imogene's Antlers

Three Little Hawaiian Pigs and the Magic Shark

Three Little Hawaiian Pigs and the Magic Shark by Donivee Martin Laird, illustrated by Carol Jossem

This book is the three little pig story with a Hawaiian twist. The magic shark takes the place of the big bad wolf. He appears disguised as various Hawaiian people, such as a Shave Ice salesman. The pigs do notice the shark by a fin or other feature, but their initial houses are two week. With the final pig, however, the shark tries to blow too much that eventually drains to be flat. It is over-the-top Hawaiian funniness.

Dear Garbage Man

Dear Garbage Man by Gene Zion, illustrated by Margaret Bloy Graham

A new garbage man sees so much interesting stuff on his route. Rather than put in the back to get hauled off, he puts it on top so it can be reused. At the end of the route people take all the stuff he had saved. However, the next day, all that stuff is back out with notes. It wasn't as reusable as they thought. That day it all gets hauled away to the dump. It is a story about naive ideals that don't quite come through.

Little Crab: Finger Puppet Book

Little Crab: Finger Puppet Book by illustrated by Klaartje van der Pul, translated by Rachel Liong

This does not have much of a book. It was originally in Dutch, but there is not much to translate. It is mostly a gimmick for using the finger puppet.

The Little House

The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton

A family builds a little house in the country and promises to keep it in the family for multiple generations. The house is interested in the city. Soon the city comes to the house. Roads, tall buildings trains and subways all get built around the building. Finally some descendants come and move the house out to the country where it can be back to a situation similar to where it started. It shows gradual city development in the pre-suburban era. A return to the original country is a little far fetched.
