(3) K-3 Illustrated by Élise Mansot. A wintry tale of a kindly peasant (Bird); a young ballerina transported to nineteenth-century Paris (Ballerina); the legend behind a Japanese celebration (Wave); a mailman on a dreamy voyage finding love (Journey). Four attractive oversize picture books inspired by works of Bruegel, Degas, Hokusai, and Chagall contain homage-paying illustrations, a reproduction of the influential masterpiece, and artist biographical information in question-and-answer format. Review covers these titles: A Bird in Winter, Little Ballerina, The Great Wave, and Journey on a Cloud.
