(3) 1-3 Illustrated by David Christiana. Gossamer watercolor artwork animates this fanciful tale about a marionette maker who listens to the wood before carving to discover "who and what each marionette wanted to be." When he jumps ahead in this process one day and decides for himself to turn a mute piece of teakwood into a ballerina, he learns that a toy's true nature is not easily circumvented.
