(2) K-3 Retold by Susanne Koppe. Translated by Anthea Bell. Illustrated by Lisbeth Zwerger. Devotees of the ballet version may be surprised by the layers of fantasy and reality in this skillful distillation of the much longer original story. Zwerger's elegant full-page watercolors capture the tone of the story, and her uncluttered compositions focus on specific characters and objects, rewarding the careful observer with details that foreshadow and illuminate the multifaceted story.
