About the Author:
From Booklist:
George Shannon is a popular storyteller and former children's librarian whose many notable picture books include Tomorrow's Alphabet, Lizard's Guest, and White Is for Blueberry. Tippy-Toe Chick, Go!, illustrated by Laura Dronzek, was named a Charlotte Zolotow Award Honor Book. George Shannon lives on Bainbridge Island, Washington.
Any child ousted from a favorite spot by a belligerent classmate will relate to Lizard's predicament in this colorfully illustrated story. Lizard arrives home to find that Snake has taken over his favorite rock. Pleading and wishful thinking don't evict Snake, so Lizard proposes a public contest. Snake will put two pebbles in a bag, one black, one white; if Lizard draws the black pebble, Lizard wins the rock. Counting on Snake's deceitfulness in preparing the bag, Lizard draws but "accidentally" drops his pebble into a river before anyone sees it. Snake gloats that Lizard has "lost his chance." But by using logic, Lizard pulls out the remaining white pebble, proving that the lost stone must have been black--if Snake has been honest. Shannon's spritely, pointed story once again is happily illustrated by Dewey and Aruego's bright watercolors outlined in ink. A potential classroom read-aloud, this might aid a beginning discussion of probability. However, for younger children, have bag and pebbles on hand for what may be a difficult concept to grasp. Donna Beales
