(3) K-3 A frog stonecutter decides to look for a cushy job. He goes, by wishing, from job to job (to job) and is finally satisfied when he transforms himself into a stone...until he encounters another stonecutter! Horowitz lays out his version of a Chinese folktale of comeuppance with a mason's expertise, and his cut-paper, charcoal, and pencil illustrations are built with similar artistry.
