$18.00
plus $3 handling
Presents our adaptation of a charming out-of-print picture
book (Coward-McCann, 1946) about Ņtender-hearted familyÓ members who can find
no acceptable way to rid their precious garden of a pair of cunning, clever
woodchucks.
And itÕs all true Š as well as very funny. Written by Wanda
G‡gÕs biographer, Alma Scott (here under the pseudonym of Georgia Travers),
and illustrated by WandaÕs youngest sister, Flavia (a prolific
author-illustrator in her own right), this story gives a unique, intimate
portrait of the G‡g siblings as adults at their New Jersey summer home.
OxCart selects this story as a hilarious read-aloud for an
audience of youngsters ages 4-8. Our adaptation is also used successfully as
a model to help students ages 7-12 improve their writing skills. We include a
study guide for using text from The Wily Woodchucks for
lessons in story structure, additive writing and expressive language.
