(2) K-3 Retold by Rand Burkert. Illustrated by Nancy Ekholm Burkert. Nancy Ekholm Burkert brings her meticulous style to Aesop's classic, setting it--as did Jerry Pinkney in The Lion and the Mouse--in Africa. Rand Burkert's character-revealing, story-advancing dialogue is the sort to captivate a group. It's an admirable complement to the matchless Pinkney volume, sure to invite productive comparison. Author's and illustrator's notes are appended.
