Pirican Pic and Pirican Mor

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Yumi Heo. In this Scottish folktale, Pirican Mor is looking for a "stick both hard and straight to whack and thwack poor Pirican Pic" (who has selfishly gobbled all the walnuts Pirican Mor has gathered). As in many another classic tale, each thing Pirican Mor needs requires getting something else. Heo uses oil washes for a very light-handed, translucent effect. There are no source notes, but this fresh reworking can be used in groups to discuss conflict.
