(2) K-3 Illustrated by Gary Clement. Two-Eyes is the name of the Cinderella-like heroine, whose aptly named sisters One-Eye and Three-Eyes find her embarrassingly different. Clement's pencil and watercolor pictures set the story in the countryside, as expected, but include modern-day inventions and other humorous details. All three sisters look comically awkward, heightening the story's droll message that all of us are funny-looking in our own ways.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Leonid Gore. Mikko has found only a friendly mouse for a bride, while his older brother is to marry a nice-looking farm girl. The mouse, however, is really a princess, bewitched by a spell that can be broken only if one brother wishes to marry her while the other wishes to kill her. Illustrations that manage to be both elegant and amusing accompany this well-told tale. Brief source note included.
