(3) K-3 Translated by Marianne Martens. Illustrated by Birte Muller. Two ravens sitting in a tree grouse about winter, but a third longs to join the children below making snow angels. After the kids leave, his artless attempts earn his peers' derision, but the next day, the kids are convinced that a real angel has been there. Because Hächler doesn't sentimentalize, the story and close-ups of the guileless raven's clumsy maneuvers are unexpectedly moving.
