FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES
Grindley, Sally, Reteller

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Thomas Taylor. The appeal of this version of the familiar story lies in the depiction of the apprentice, who looks like a young Harry Potter minus the glasses. The retelling is a mild one, with the relentless army of bucket-carrying brooms quickly vanquished and the sorcerer a forgiving sort; this upbeat quality is reflected in the large, fizzy colored-pencil illustrations.
