(3) K-3 Illustrated by Barry Moser. In Palatini's humorous take on Aesop's "The Fox and the Grapes," Fox enlists Bear, Beaver, Porcupine, and Possum to help grab some out-of-reach fruit. Concocting an elaborate scheme, Fox ignores the other animals' simpler, sounder solutions ("'I can give the tree a shake,' said Bear"). Moser's considered watercolors show realistic-looking creatures displaying human responses, from calculating to exasperated.
