(4) K-3 Translated by Anthea Bell. Illustrated by Lisbeth Zwerger. This translation of Andersen's tale is both true to the original and graceful. At first glance Zwerger's illustrations may seem understated, offering only slight suggestions instead of clear representations, but her painterly forms invite imagination on the part of readers. Printing key plot sentences in colored type seems gimmicky.
