(3) K-3 Illustrated by John Sandford. Hungry Bear wants Fox's fresh-caught fish, but greedy Fox preserves his catch with a clever scheme: he tells Bear to catch his own by sitting all night with his tail in the lake. Bear falls for the deception but ends up with the last laugh--and a full stomach. Sandford's folksy oil illustrations, rich with Slavic patterns, nicely complement this tale inspired by Hungarian folklore.
