Old Jake's Skirts Cynthia Anne Scott Illustrated by David Slonim
	(from Amazon.com/Parents' Choice®) As oddball a character as you're likely to meet between picture-book covers is Old Jake, a reclusive pumpkin farmer, who finds a beat-up old steamer trunk that unexpectedly changes his life. Jake and his hound dog Shoestring become as real as next door neighbors in David Slonim's deeply felt oil paintings, and author Scott's sympathetic portrait of her scruffy hero, and his hardscrabble existence on the West Texas plains, creates a character and milieu young listeners won't soon forget. How a trunk full of cotton calico skirts transforms a hermit into a genial neighbor adds up to a suspenseful, unusual tale.
