(3) K-3 Retold by Michael Hague. Illustrated by Michael Hague. This picture-book version of "A Book of Beasts," originally published in 1900, is about a little boy who becomes king and inherits a magical bestiary. Each time he opens the book, a mythical animal is released. Hague's bright watercolors provide a suitably impressive array of beasts, and our sympathy goes out to King Lionel, who is also a tired little boy who needs his nurse.
