Kimmel with gorgeous, brightly patterned illustrations from artist Mara Penny, <i>Hank and Gertie</i> brings a modern twist to the classic Hansel and Gretel folktale combined with the high-adventure landscape of the Oregon Trail.</b></p> <p>While taking a break from their journey out west, Hank and Gertie lose their way back to their covered wagon and stumble upon the most glorious house made of candy. Little do they know there's a dangerous witch lurking nearby, and she's got her eye on the two hungry and vulnerable children.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Portland author Eric A. 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. Especially fun are the pages featuring the witch's menus for fattening up Hank."--Oregonian<br><br>"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."--Children's Bookwatch<br><br>"Penny beautifully illustrates this story in a dusty palette . . . a closing author's note gives insight into how Kimmel reconfigured the story for the Oregon Trail setting, which makes the book appropriate for classroom discussions. Overall, this is a gentle, familiar read that isn't too dark and scary."--Booklist<br><br>"Kimmel proves yet again that folk- and fairy tales still make for great picture-book fodder. . . The illustrations shine when displaying the magnificent array of foods--duff pudding with maple cream sauce, fried chicken, hoecakes, and more."--Kirkus<br>
