(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jan Ormerod. This gathering of ten stories in an oversized format with clear type, generous leading, and bright, bold illustrations has instant appeal. The selections are diverse in origin and varied in type, with brief source notes provided. The retellings flow smoothly, making them easy to read aloud, and the illustrations provide opportunities to extend the text without interrupting the pace--a tribute to thoughtful book design.
