(3) K-3 Illustrated by Claire Fletcher. Josette Bobette realizes that her great room, filled with family portraits, is missing a portrait of Pepette, her rabbit. Josette and Pepette go to Montmartre, where familiar-looking artists (Picasso, Chagall, Dalí, and Matisse per the author's note) try their hand at painting Pepette. The charming story slyly incorporates information about the modern-art scene of 1920s Paris; watercolor illustrations depict a vibrant, bustling city.

(4) 4-6 Kingfisher Classics series. Illustrated by Claire Fletcher. The unabridged text of Twain's classic story is presented in a large typeface with plenty of white space. The squarish volume features a few pleasant, though unremarkable, ink and wash illustrations and a new foreword by Katherine Paterson.
