(4) K-3 Translated by Anthea Bell. Illustrated by Maja Dusi­kova. The night before her favorite tree at the local pond is to be cut down, Sarah has a dream about the tree's spirit. The next day Sarah's father helps her plant a twig from the tree, which soon begins to sprout leaves of its own. This Swiss import switches gears unexpectedly, from the sad-looking ghostly tree spirit to realism, but otherwise the text is appealing and is competently illustrated in earth tones.
Reviewer: Jeannine M. Chapman
