(3) K-3 In her fourth African recasting of European folktales, Isadora shows a Rapunzel blessed with abundant dreadlocks that reach to the savanna where her lonely tower is placed. As before, the retelling is spare and the collage paintings lush. Although a few spreads are unfocused, most make effective dramatic use of the page.
