Giant Peach Yodel by Jan Peck
3.0

Age: Preschool - 1st grade

On the way to the Peach-Pickin' Festival, Little Buddy Earl has a hankerin for yodeling. "But what's the use of that?" his family wonders. Little do they know that every time he yodels, the crops they pass grow to enormous sizes. Can he help out his Cranky Uncle Frankie and Aunt Evelina Josephina's "sorry-lookin'" peach tree?

A very, very fun book just begging to be read aloud with a high-falutin' Southern accent. Unfortunately, the grimy, vague pictures detract from the story. I was unaware the first time around that the crops were growing every time he yodeled. Too bad, cause the story is a fun one.
