The Nightingale

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Pirkko Vainio. When faced with death, the Chinese emperor finally realizes that the bird from the natural world sings far more beautifully than the artificial, jewel-encrusted music machine he has embraced. Richly detailed watercolors bring the luxurious court to life, including the little kitchen maid who first finds the nightingale. It's an attractive presentation of the well-known tale.
