(4) K-3 Ready-to-Read: Young Princesses around the World series. Illustrated by Nonna Aleshina. In an event supposedly based on a true story (though the book lacks documentation), Isabel protects her little brother (or hermano--a handful of Spanish words are sprinkled throughout) from King Henry, their half-brother who fears for his throne. Isabel emerges as a plucky and sympathetic heroine; her future as queen is mentioned (her role in the Inquisition glossed over). Stiff pictures illustrate most pages. Timeline.
