Virginia Lee Burton won the Caldecott Medal in 1943 for her memorable picture book The Little House, a poignant story of a cute country cottage that becomes engulfed by the city that grows up around it. The house has an expressive face of windows and doors, and even the feelings of a person, so she’s sad when she’s surrounded by the dirty, noisy city’s hustle and bustle: “She missed the field of daisies / and the apple trees dancing in the moonlight.” Fortunately, there’s a happy ending, as the house is taken back to the country where she belongs.]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 https://graycity.net/virginia-lee-burton/52599-calico_the_wonder_horse_or_the_saga_of_stewy_stinker.html https://graycity.net/virginia-lee-burton/52599-calico_the_wonder_horse_or_the_saga_of_stewy_stinker.html
In comic-strip format, this action-packed western drama is complete with cattle rustling and kidnapping, a stampede, a holdup, and a thrilling chase.
