(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jane Marinksy. Disgusted by her daughter's laziness and vanity, a sorceress gives her the face of a goat--unbeknownst to the young woman as she tries to woo Prince Rupert. It's a meaty, amusing plot, and the winking anachronistic jokes (e.g., the sorceress is shown reading a book called Child Rearing) add to the humor.
