(3) K-3 Illustrated by Reg Cartwright. In this adaptation of a Spanish tale, Matías rescues a mother and her daughters, who have been transformed into a tree bearing three oranges. The fairly lengthy text ends with an unusual twist: Matías marries one daughter, but the remaining two reject his selfish brothers. Tones of orange, gold, and brown unify the distinctive oil paintings, which feature sturdy, simplified figures.
