Kimmel transplants a familiar fairy tale to the Oregon Trail in 'Hank & Gertie: A Pioneer Hansel & Gretel Story.' Illustrator Mara Penny pulls off images that feel both vintage and modern in a perfect complement to Kimmel's instantly engaging prose. The illustrations shine when displaying the magnificent array of foods-duff pudding with maple cream sauce, fried chicken, hoecakes, and more., Portland author Eric A. Bringing a wonderfully entertaining and modern interpretation of a classic children's fairytale, it is wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommended for family, elementary school, and community library picture book collections., Kimmel proves yet again that folk- and fairy tales still make for great picture-book fodder.
