(4) K-3 Illustrated by Claire Ewart. At the end of WWII, a young man travels from America to Poland, bringing livestock to help starving villagers rebuild their farms. Without much character development, the book is less an engaging story than it is a brief introduction to an interesting historical event (more information is appended). Despite the serious topic, watercolor illustrations of smiling cowboys and excited villagers convey a light tone.
