| The dual definitions of the word "story" are the springboard for a humorous misunderstanding in this warm and jaunty picture book. "Dad played the fiddle, Mom sang country-western, and Austin banged the tambourine" in the country-western musical group known as the Swamp Snakes. The trailer they tow behind their car is home sweet home as they travel the country from gig to gig. Each night, Austin drinks from his dinosaur mug, lines up his stuffed animals and begs for tales before saying goodnight, but Dad reminds him, "You know the rules,... just one story at bedtime." When the Swamp Snakes pop in to stay with some relatives in their "two-story house," Austin thrills at the notion that he'll get two bedtime stories. Later, Dad rises to the challenge when the Swamp Snakes splurge and stay in an 11-story hotel one night. Brutschy's cheerful tale conveys the strong family bonds and daily rituals that keep the Swamp Snakes close and surprisingly ordinary despite their unconventional line of work. Smith (Nine for California) adds zip with her fluid-lined watercolors of lively dance halls and the trailer's cramped but cozy quarters. Her depictions of characters fiddling, dancing and tambourine banging almost sway along with the Swamp Snakes' appreciative audiences. Ages 4-7. |

| "Austin and his family were on the road. They called themselves The Swamp Snakes. Dad played the fiddle, Mom sang country-western, and Austin banged the tambourine. Every day was a different crowd. Every week was a different town. But every night in their trailer was exactly the same..." Austin had a drink of water from his dinosaur mug, lined his stuffed animals up at the end of the bed, snuggled down under his favorite quilt, and called out "story time." Dad always told him his bedtime story. "Just one more story?" Austin always begged. "You know the rules, cowboy," Dad said. "Just one story at bedtime." It was always the same, night after night until The Swamp Snakes got to Tuscaloosa. That night, instead of sleeping in their trailer, they stayed with Uncle Roy in his "two story" house. Austin didn't like the scratchy blankets or the unfamiliar bed, and he didn't like having to drink his water from a paper cup instead of his dinosaur mug, but he sure did like the idea of two stories..... Jennifer Brutschy's gentle, heartwarming story with its clever and humorous, surprise ending, just begs to be shared and read aloud. Her witty text, rich in engaging backwoods words and phrases, is complemented by Cat Bowman Smith's cheerful watercolor illustrations, filled with bold color, expressive details, energy and motion. Perfect for youngsters 3-7, Just One More Story is an cozy, comforting, and entertaining bedtime read that's sure to become an instant favorite at your house. |
