(4) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by John A. Rowe. The cumulative Russian folktale begins with a lost red hat that provides shelter for a host of animals. A frog, hedgehog, enormous bear, and other creatures squeeze inside until a minuscule flea proves too large for the bulging hat. The book's design features gray typeface set against a stark white background and sophisticated, somewhat surreal paintings that may have limited appeal.
