(4) K-3 Several thousand years ago in China, a princess unraveled a silkworm cocoon and embarked on a magical dream-adventure that culminated in the weaving of the first silk garment. Santore's expanded version of the legend of the discovery of silk, presented in sophisticated language (and too-small print), meanders; however, the elegant art, modeled after Chinese painting, will likely catch readers' eyes.
