(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nick Harris. Molly and her adventurous grandmother don't find any fairies during their search, but readers are challenged to find more than one hundred hidden within this book's rather garish illustrations. These winged creatures take many forms and sizes, but each fairy is raised off thick cardstock pages, creating an engaging sensory experience that could exist independently from the uninspired story.

(4) K-3 DK Classic Readers series. Illustrated by Nick Harris. With simplified texts and using many of the same illustrations and photos as the original editions, these two tales are repackaged for younger readers (Robin Hood is geared toward more "proficient" readers). Margin notes with background information are somewhat intrusive. Although these versions lack the depth of fuller retellings, children new to reading can tackle these abridged versions on their own. Glos.
