(1) K-3 Illustrated by Heather Solomon. Set in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, this is a winning tale of brain vs. brawn from the French-Canadian tradition, full of lively dialogue and situation. Young Beatrice, small but smart, ventures off into the far north woods to gamble with a rich but rather dim giant. Beatrice wins the contest, then two more, and brings home a sack of gold to her impoverished mother. The remarkable illustrations have unusual texture and depth.
