(2) K-3 A monstrous chicken belonging to mountain trolls threatens four siblings. As in all good folktales, the chicken and trolls are no match for the clever children, and the monsters are vanquished in a most satisfactory way. The d'Aulaires illustrate this rousing Scandinavian folktale in exuberant pictures using both sketchy black-and-white lines and mottled color.
