(3) K-3 Translated by Elisa Amado. Illustrated by Rafael Yockteng. After a lion agrees to spare him, a mouse pledges to return the favor and does. But when the lion does him another favor, the mouse wonders what's up. (Answer: friendship.) This winning update of Aesop's "The Lion and the Mouse" has tasteful art juxtaposed with amusing omniscient narration ("'Insignificant'...is the most insulting thing you could say about a mouse").
