THE SECRET OF OLD ZEB

Carmen Agra Deedy, , illus. by Michael P. White. . Peachtree, $8.95 (36pp) ISBN 978-1-56145-280-4

Old Uncle Walter relates a childhood story to his bored niece about Old Zeb, who made ships in bottles and let Walter in on his true dream—an enormous ship he was building in the cellar. "There are flashes of humor in this likable tale," said PW, "and witty details in the highly stylized paintings." Ages 6-10. (Oct.)
