(2) K-3 Illustrated by Fred Marcellino. A delightful (if somewhat truncated) retelling of "The Giant with the Three Golden Hairs." When a baby boy's royal marriage is foretold, it's "happy news to a family that was nobody special, but not happy news to the King," who plots to prevent the inevitable. Babbitt's text is seamless, winsomely funny, and perfectly paced. Marcellino picks up the liveliness and wit in luminous, beautifully composed paintings.
