(2) K-3 In this version of the European folktale, three Buddhist monks investigate the nature of happiness by feeding the inhabitants of a Chinese village soup made from three stones. The muted blue and gray watercolors are ideally suited to portraying the inhospitable village, as well as the girl who draws the other villagers from behind their locked doors. This serving of fusion cuisine is delicious and satisfying. A detailed author's note is appended.
