(4) K-3 Translated by Marianne Martens. Illustrated by Alessandra Roberti. This story describes young Abel's budding friendship with a greedy wolf. Abel has left his parents' home to seek his future alone, and the cherished if prosaic gifts they bestow upon him allow him to eat well and befriend the angry wolf. Although the story has an abrupt ending, Roberti's illustrations are lush and moody, showing the forest as a mysterious place.
