(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gayle Garner Roski. Ancient Chinese villagers prepare for a festival, suffer a devastating flood, and flee before an enemy force. Fact and fiction collide in this explanation of how a horde of archaeological treasures came to be buried near modern-day Chengdu, China, over three-thousand years ago. Illustrated with stilted paintings, the story's point is obscure until the last few paragraphs and the explanatory author's note.
