(4) K-3 Illustrated by Divya Srinivasan. A desperate Rajah and Rani promise a reward to anyone who can entice their blind, mute daughter to speak. A tiger succeeds by truly communicating--not just talking--with lonely princess Cinnamon. First published in a magazine for adults in 1995, this original fable has a sly humor that may still appeal more to grownups than children, but the story's folktale cadence and sumptuous illustrations are entrancing.
