(2) K-3 Retold by Tor Seidler. Illustrated by Fred Marcellino. Andersen's classic doomed-toy love story, as reimagined by Seidler and Marcellino, is back in print in an attractive hardcover edition. Marcellino's lush, hyperrealistic illustrations, in colored pencil on charcoal paper, are from unusual angles that heighten the weirdness and melancholy of Andersen's original tale, ably retold (and abbreviated somewhat) by Seidler.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Fred Marcellino. Three great nonsense rhymes by the inimitable Edward Lear--"The New Vestments," "The Owl and the Pussycat," and "The Pelican Chorus"--are accompanied by wildly comic illustrations, uniquely suited to the poems' content and era. The title poem is especially well done, with the pelicans as stuffy Victorian parents giving a coming-out ball for their daughter on the banks of the Nile. For lovers of Lear, a great treat.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Fred Marcellino. Bagley Brown Jr., a modest weasel, has two problems: he feels he can never equal his beloved, heroic father's memory, and he loves hopelessly--instead of a lady weasel--a fish named Bridget. His zealous attempts to save Bridget from a horrible fate, assisted by various weasel friends, ultimately prove him a hero in his own right. An unusual animal fantasy with delightful illustrations.

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Fred Marcellino. Here White's tale of honor, love, friendship, and whimsy gets a distinctive look with font change and appropriate sepia-toned illustrations that outnumber, and possibly outclass, those of the original edition.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Fred Marcellino. A delightful (if somewhat truncated) retelling of "The Giant with the Three Golden Hairs." When a baby boy's royal marriage is foretold, it's "happy news to a family that was nobody special, but not happy news to the King," who plots to prevent the inevitable. Babbitt's text is seamless, winsomely funny, and perfectly paced. Marcellino picks up the liveliness and wit in luminous, beautifully composed paintings.
