(3) K-3 Illustrated by Amelia Lau Carling. Amelia's father tells of the abuelos, the "old men of the mountains" who make sure children behave. Frightened after seeing some figures descend the mountain for real, Amelia realizes it's the men of the village in masks, who are carrying on a New Mexican cultural tradition. Mora's writing and Carling's watercolor, pastel, and colored-pencil illustrations are warm.
