(4) K-3 Translated by Kathryn Bishop. In this tale of friendship found and lost again between two bashful children, Bunge's art is the true star. Delightfully skewed perspectives, such as the never-ending staircase up to school, are calibrated to convey a child's worldview. Small fantastical details--pigs in a distant hot-air balloon, birds snuggled in armchairs--add gaiety. Abrupt shifts in the wordy narrative, however, can be disconcerting.
