(2) K-3 Illustrated by Phil Huling. The basic plot follows Perrault's; however, the Hulings' retelling is set in Texas and is filled with country expressions spoken with a Southwestern twang. The sleek illustrations give Puss and the other characters a long, lean look. Cheekily reminiscent of Thomas Hart Benton (and once with a wink at Manet), the sophisticated art is an effective counterpoint to the down-home storytelling.
