(3) K-3 Illustrated by Francis Blake. Preceding these six folktales, each from a different place (e.g., Scandinavia, Palestine, India), is a short verse take-off on once-upon-a-time ("What's that at the door? / It's a story!"). The stories share a similarly light, silly narrative style and details. Offbeat fine-line drawings, some full-page and some spot, employ a bold and varied color palette and placement on the pages.
