(2) K-3 Illustrated by Aki Sogabe. Drawing on a Japanese legend concerning a fifteenth-century artist, Hodges tells a pleasing tale of a boy artist so skilled that his creations spring to life to confound a supernatural antagonist. Hodges's text is so expertly honed that it could easily stand on its own. Sogabe's cut-paper, watercolor, and airbrush illustrations set the stage handsomely, their bold outlines and areas of dramatic black mellowed with a cool palette.
