Reissue (1992, HarperCollins)
(2) K-3 Retold by Tor Seidler. Illustrated by Fred Marcellino. Andersen's classic doomed-toy love story, as reimagined by Seidler and Marcellino, is back in print in an attractive hardcover edition. Marcellino's lush, hyperrealistic illustrations, in colored pencil on charcoal paper, are from unusual angles that heighten the weirdness and melancholy of Andersen's original tale, ably retold (and abbreviated somewhat) by Seidler.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz | Horn Book Magazine Issue: March, 1993; November, 2017
