(4) K-3 Illustrated by Amanda Hall. The stories in these two collections, containing folktales that include golden or silver items, are told simply and directly with the moral summed up at the end: e.g., "Be thankful, not boastful, of good fortune." Many of the stories are well known, such as "King Midas and the Golden Touch." The elaborate illustrations are decorated with much gold and silver, but the stories suffer from the heavy focus on the lessons. [Review covers All My Shining Silver, and Good as Gold.]
