(3) K-3 Translated by Marilyn Nelson. Illustrated by Pierre Pratt. Translated from the Danish, this good-natured, surreal rhyming tale tells of a ladder that walks through the countryside, encountering people and animals that climb its rungs, only to disappear into the sky when they reach the top. Sun-drenched paintings, some of which fold out to emphasize the ladder's height even further, illustrate the curious adventures of this "tall, thin, red pedestrian."
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
