(3) K-3 Illustrated by Barbara McClintock. Sketched in pen and washed with watercolors, the small vignettes and larger illustrations that accompany this picture book version of the classic novel clearly depict Sara Crewe's sad reversal of fortune. The retelling retains the basic plot and characterizations and so provides a good introduction to the tale, but it is no substitute for the original story, which has a grander scope and greater emotional resonance.
Reviewer: Anne St. John
