(1) K-3 Illustrated by William Steig. Containing illuminating detail and the gentlest touches of wit, these homely retellings are great fun for reading aloud, and bits of verse, beautifully scanned, provide an incantatory charm of their own. William Steig's line-and-watercolor illustrations are humble and funny, and the book's compact size is just right for a little one-on-one session in cultural literacy.
