(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alexi Natchev. When her kingdom's fortified walls are besieged by looting outlaws, Princess Birgitta and five brave children disguise themselves as goats and cleverly trick the outlaws into retreat. Lively acrylic paintings create a medieval setting for this well-told story, which an author's note informs readers is loosely based on an actual event during the Thirty Years War.
