(2) K-3 Retold by JooHee Yoon. Illustrated by JooHee Yoon. Yoon faithfully retells Andersen's tale in sober prose and dazzling illustrations, created by hand drawing, relief printing, and computer techniques. The story of the one-legged toy soldier who falls in love with a paper ballerina and accidentally embarks on a series of adventures has its grim moments, and Yoon's art--with its layered patterns and textures, limited palette, and dynamic perspectives--revels in these.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Joohee Yoon. Sixteen animal poems draw on the usual suspects' (Nash, Blake, Belloc, etc.) most obvious poems ("The Eel," "The Tiger," "The Yak"); but you wouldn't be buying this book for the poems but for the pictures. The book is big, square, and sturdy, with thick off-white paper subduing the crazy embellishment poured onto each page via overlays of three primary colors.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joohee Yoon. Thurber's fable, first published in The New Yorker in 1956, describes the futility of war. A tiger decides that he is the king of beasts and so attacks the lion who fights back to defend his crown. Yoon's striking green-and-orange illustrations, with their large, heavy shapes and irregular compositions, express the confusion of war and the weight of the topic.
