The Furry-Legged Teapot

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Robert McGuire. In this revisioning of a popular Japanese folktale, young Yoshi, a tanuki, or "raccoon-dog," is so impatient to use his magic that he turns himself into a teapot before he's learned how to turn himself back. This wordy retelling that champions patience, kindness, and respect for children is illustrated with acrylics that have a disconcertingly static quality.
