FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES

Jorinda and Jorindel

(3) K-3 Retold by Bernadette Watts. Illustrated by Bernadette Watts. In this smoothly retold version of one of the Brothers Grimm's less popular tales, the witch turns young girls into birds and freezes young men who wander too close to her castle. Jorindel manages to escape, frees his true love, and transforms the other birds back into young women. The intricately rendered paintings convey the story's magical quality.
