(3) K-3 One by one, Simon loses his family's treasures to a princess who is "beautiful, mean, and greedy." However, with the help of some magical fruit, he strikes a blow to her vanity and is able to bargain for the return of the stolen property. The illustrations give the characters elaborate costumes and exaggerated features; they're a fitting accompaniment for this witty adaptation of a story, although no sources are given, from Quebec.
