(4) K-3 Translated by Nancy Maze. Illustrated by Poul Strøyer. A naughty crow, trying to steal a farmer's cherries, is captured and ordered to perform tasks--all of which he does badly. The farmer trades him to a baker, to similar results. The crow escapes and returns to his family, receiving a hero's welcome. Swedish author Hellsing's inexpert but propulsive verse is accompanied by Danish illustrator Strøyer's brightly colored art in eye-pleasing compositions.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
