(3) K-3 In a Russian twist on "The Fisherman and his Wife," modest peasant girl Luba frees an enchanted wren and is granted a wish. Her parents ask for grander and grander situations, but when they ask to be as gods, they find themselves back in their original dacha, content at last. Polacco's detailed watercolors set this retelling firmly in old Russia. No source note is included.
