The Sea King

32 pp. | Crocodile | December, 2002 | Trade ISBN 1-56656-459-X $$15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stefan Czernecki. In this original tale, a prince seeks to repay the debt his father had forgotten he owes to the sea king and wins the heart of the sea king's eldest daughter. Although initially striking, the illustrations are flat and fail to enliven this story that plunders Russian folklore (even Baba Yaga makes an appearance) without achieving imaginative depth.
