(4) K-3 Illustrated by Doug Salati. When the king dies, the young prince is due to be crowned, but his older half-brother tears into pieces the Imperial Robe said to confer power upon the ruler. The story lacks logic (why didn't the older brother just take the robe for himself?), but the pencil and digital illustrations are expressively drawn and interestingly subdued in palette, looking both folkloric and sophisticated.
