(4) K-3 Illustrated by Célia Chauffrey. This retelling is lightweight but benign. Don removes much of the suspense from the story, and even the ending--which includes the traditional cutting open of the wolf and sewing him up with rocks inside--seems harmless. The tension comes from the unusual perspectives in Chauffrey's striking acrylic paintings with scarlet accents, curvaceous lines, and homey details. A CD of the story is included.
