The Nightingale

(4) K-3 Adapted by Jerry Pinkney. Illustrated by Jerry Pinkney. Pinkney observes that the tale of the nightingale whose song enchanted a kingdom has a universal message that can be adapted to many locations. His selection of Morocco showcases the artist's lush style, but reinventing both setting and characters causes much of the original Andersen to be lost. This is an elegant creation, but one hopes that children will also know of the original.
