(3) K-3 Illustrated by Steven Lenton. Frankie loves fairy tales, so she eagerly helps a princess, unicorn, mermaid, etc., who each show up in her home looking to hide from a witch. The satisfying closing twist reveals that they're all (the witch included) in on one big game of hide-and-seek. This play on fairy-tale tropes includes pastel-colored illustrations with humorous details (e.g., the king hiding under a lampshade).
