While working for plantation owners, Peg Leg Joe teaches the slaves a song about the drinking gourd (the Big Dipper). A couple, their son, and two others make their escape by following the song's directions. Rich paintings interpret the strong story in a clean, primitive style enhanced by bold colors. The rhythmic compositions have an energetic presence that's compelling. A fine rendering of history in picturebook format.\"--(starred) \u003ci\u003eBooklist. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeanette Winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dragonfly Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.95h x 10.84w x 0.22d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679819974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 4-8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e28792 \/ Follow the Drinking Gourd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJeanette Winter has written and illustrated almost 50 books for children, including \u003ci\u003eDiego, \u003c\/i\u003e E\u003ci\u003emily Dickinson's Letters to the World, \u003c\/i\u003e Th\u003ci\u003ee Librarian of Basra, Georgia, and Mama\u003c\/i\u003e.
