(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. Because of a doctor's silly (though fortuitous) advice, a wealthy man's fears, some thieving servants' foolishness, and his daughter's quick observations, a starving man and his hungry child end up with banquet-loads of food every night. The gently satirical text, picked up on by the amusing watercolor illustrations, contrasts lanky Doctor All-Knowing and his raggedy child with the well-fed wealthy folks.

(1) K-3 Illustrated by Bert Kitchen. Working from the original Grimms' tales, Orgel provides six fresh, lively retellings that will be a particular boon to storytellers. Kitchen's elegantly detailed animals are strongly realistic, yet imbued with character, dignity, and a beguiling whiff of humor. A beautifully designed book, this makes a grand introduction to the Grimms.
