(3) K-3 Illustrated by Martha Aviles. Kimmel transports the Grimms' fairy tale "The Fisherman and His Wife" to the culture of the ancient Aztecs. The conversational text and unfussy acrylic and liquid watercolor illustrations balance humor and off-handed casualness with historical accuracy. As usual with Kimmel's folktale retellings, this would be useful for reading aloud during storytimes and library programs.
