(4) K-3 Clubhouse Book series. In their third adventure, the Clubhouse kids suspect that ghosts trashed their clubhouse. Renaming their club the Amazing Ghost Detectives, they research, plan, and finally run the ghost out of town. The caricaturish illustrations don't match the naive tone of the story, but readers will enjoy finding pictorial clues (rats, cats, moles, etc.) to figure out what's really going on.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Eujin Kim Neilan. When a poor woodcutter saves an enchanted deer, he is granted his wish for a wife and children. The deer teaches him how to capture a heavenly maiden who bathes in a moonlit lake, but he loses her a year later when she flies off to heaven, their baby in her arms. In a happily-ever-after ending, he is reunited with his family in the heavenly kingdom. The acrylic paintings extend the well-told text and add cultural details.
