The Little Golden Lamb

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Rosanne Litzinger. In this Hungarian version of "The Golden Goose," a flute-playing shepherd boy wins the hand of an ailing princess who must laugh to be cured. The sight of the boy leading a risible procession of serving maid, baker woman, and priest, all of whom are stuck to his little golden lamb, does the trick. Greene's storytelling style is at once classic and relaxed, and the illustrations, in a soft, springtime palette, are fittingly buoyant.
