The Hidden Feast by Martha Hamilton
Barnyard animals learn a lesson about manners and passing judgments in this moral tale drawn from Joel Chandler Harris' Uncle Remus stories. -Booklist ReviewWhen the barnyard animals are invited to a party by their neighbors, they dress in their Sunday best and set off for a day of merriment. But when dinnertime arrives, the famished animals are perplexed to find a simple meal of cornbread. Most of them are polite but Rooster turns his beak up in disgust and rudely leaves the party, missing the treasures hidden for the guests. The surprising twist at the end of the story explains why, ever since, Rooster scratches in the dirt. Martha Hamilton and Mitch Weiss capture the rhythms and idioms of this rural Southern tale, and Don Tate's whimsical acrylics serve up a regular hoedown of fun. This barnyard story teaches readers about sharing, caring and fairness.Mitch Weiss, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist for the Associated Press, has written about everything from the Vietnam War to crooked real estate appraisers to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill tragedy. The Yankee Comandante, Hunting Che, No Way Out, and Tiger Force are among his coauthored works.
