(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ilse Plume. When the Italian town of Gubbio is terrorized by a wolf, Brother Francis fearlessly meets "Brother Wolf" as an equal, offering it a deal that would ensure both the wolf's and the townspeople's security. The simply retold legend is well matched by meticulously detailed, unobtrusively bordered colored-pencil illustrations that are reminiscent of Renaissance paintings. There are no source notes.
