(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joanne Fitzgerald. After a sultan takes a diamond button from a rooster with prodigious swallowing power, the rooster must use his talents in unusual ways to outwit the greedy sultan and get the button back. Elegant watercolors set the story in the time of the Ottoman Empire. A note about the story gives some additional information about this Hungarian tale.
