  Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper

  By Charles Perrault, Marcia Brown (Illustrator)

  Freely translated from Charles Perrault's French tale, this story of Cinderella, her ugly stepsisters, the fairy godmother, and the glass slipper is enhanced with illustrations that fairly dance across the pages with pink and aqua colors and whispy black lines. The enchanting pictures capture the romance of the tale.

  Wheel on the Chimney

  By Margaret Wise Brown, Tibor Gergely (Illustrator)

  Storks come from Africa to build their nest on the chimney and live by the cool, green rivers of Hungary. When fall comes they fly south over towns, rivers, and bridges. The full-page paintings of the Mediterranean city, the pink flamingos, and the flock of white storks in flight are striking in color.
