(3) K-3 Illustrated by Axel Scheffler. Anyone whose creativity has felt squelched by the moral of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" will welcome the denouement here: the hero is rescued by his tale-telling. Released from a fisherman's net in unknown territory, Tiddler retraces the route his own story has taken until he's safely home. Scheffler's comical illustrations in undersea hues reinforce the non-censorious tone.
