Lots of fun, cute little lesson about being clever & brave, not too 'Grimm' even though the bear does eat the various family members. I'd love to be able to read it aloud. I will also look for more by both the author/ illustrator - the rhythm of the text matched the bright casual pictures perfectly.

(I just needed to edit my review - as I was first typing it I thought the art & text were from 2 people, but it turns out that Sloat has that much talent all in one person. :) ( )

After reading Joanne and Kenn Compton's revisionist take on this Appalachian folktale - they substitute folk-hero Jack for the squirrel, in their adaptation of Sody Sallyratus - I thought it might be nice to read a more traditional telling, and picked up this picture-book version from Teri Sloat. I'm glad that I did, as it is a very engaging book, with an amusing cumulative story - the members of a family are eaten by a bear, one by one, as they make their way to the store for some sody sallyratus (baking soda), until finally, it falls to the family's pet squirrel to rescue them! - and appealing artwork.

As with the Comptons' retelling, this Sody Sallyratus makes mention, in the brief author's note on source material, of the version of this story found in Richard Chase's 1948 Grandfather Tales, a collection I really need to get around to reading! I liked the fact that it is the squirrel who rescues everyone, in this more traditional telling, and appreciated the fact that Sloat includes a recipe for "The Old Woman's Bakin' Soda Biscuits," as well as a brief explanation of what baking soda is, at the rear of the book. Recommended to young folklore enthusiasts, particularly those with an interest in Appalachian traditions. ( )

This is apparently a traditional folk talk, although it may not be one you're familiar with.

A woman wants to make some baking soda (sody sallyratus) biscuits, so she sends all three of her family members to the store, one after the other. And they all get eaten by the bear while picking berries, one after the other. And then she goes and gets eaten too!

Oh no!

Luckily, the little pet squirrel is on the job! He tricks the bear into chasing him up a thin tree, and when the bear crashes to the ground everybody is freed and they get their biscuits after all. (Yay.)

So we have a story with a bouncy rhythm, a bit of scary bear-ness, and a happy ending. Gotta love it :) ( )
