(4) K-3 Illustrated by Emma V. Moore. This is a straightforward retelling of a traditional Sanskrit tale that teaches "the biggest treasures come in packages that are very, very small." When King Bali's greed gets out of hand, Vamana, the Supreme Being, arrives and helps put things in perspective. Colorful and intricate if unpolished illustrations add a sense of place. A brief author's note provides context.
