(3) K-3 In a traditional tale from India, an elderly woman takes a perilous journey across the forest and back. With the help of her granddaughter, she outsmarts the wolf, bear, and tiger that would like to eat her for dinner. Brilliantly colored illustrations, rendered in watercolor ink and charcoal, use the page in varied and effective ways and emphasize the dramatic confrontations between the characters.
