(3) K-3 Illustrated by Catherine Hyde. Hyde's elegant, sophisticated paintings add atomosphere to Pirotta's accessible retelling. After performing a series of tasks with the help of a magical gray wolf, King Vaslav's youngest son captures the firebird that has been stealing his father's golden apples. An author's note discusses variations of this tale, including the one made famous by the 1910 ballet.
