(4) K-3 Illustrated by Beth Krommes. This attractive and entertaining but relatively insubstantial collection of nine folktales, derived from the author's Scandinavian childhood, showcases the behaviors one might expect from fairies, dwarves, selkies, and the like. The prefaces in which Lunge-Larsen separately characterizes these elusive beings are often meatier than the tales themselves, and the colorful scratchboard artwork is more decorative than illuminating.
