(2) 1-3 Crafted with much thought as to the pacing required for the picture-book format, Pinkney's adaptation emphasizes the actions of the protagonists and omits the social commentary and philosophizing. The mesmerizing illustrations are a fitting interpretation of the story, and each spread is carefully composed so that it surrounds but does not overwhelm the text. A brief source note is included.
