(3) K-3 Illustrated by Omar Rayyan. In this comic retelling, King Midas is a bored, greedy, middle-aged man who receives the golden touch from a mysterious stranger only to regret it even before he eats breakfast, having turned the food, and his daughter, into gold. Whimsical gold-washed watercolors crammed with mythological creatures play up the humor in Stewig's interpretation of the Greek myth.
