(3) K-3 Illustrated by Katya Krenina. When Emelya the simpleton catches a pike in his water bucket, the fish promises to grant all his wishes in exchange for its freedom. By the time Emelya stops wishing, he has won the love of the Tsar's daughter and acquired a palace of his own. The illustrations create a snowy Russian setting and add to the humor of Emelya's escapades. An author's note includes a brief note on both the source and the adaptation.
