Battle of the Beasts

(4) K-3 In this Grimm tale retelling, Bear insults the princeling wrens, leading to war between feather and fur. Wallis's lush, meticulous, realistic paintings of diverse animals star in this oversized volume, which climaxes with the furred animals following Fox's flamboyant tail into battle. Despite the wordy, pedestrian text, readers will chortle when a well-placed hornet's sting makes Fox lower his colors.
