(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline. A successful abridgement (without attribution) of Andersen's original, omitting the Christian context, this complex picture book is marked by Ibatoulline's dramatic acryl-gouache paintings combining realism and fantasy. Gerda and Kai's great friendship remains at the heart of the story; Gerda's journey through different lands to rescue her friend, stolen away by the Snow Queen, will engage today's readers.
