(3) K-3 Illustrated by LeUyen Pham. Clear prose and a pared-down plot make this picture book retelling of one of Shakespeare's last plays--the story of a jealousy-crazed king--easy to follow for young audiences. Coville's incorporation of quotes from the play helps retain the flavor of the original language. Jewel-tone paintings tinged with golden hues reflect the light and shadows of the story.
