(3) K-3 Illustrated by Gennady Spirin. Told he's too young to attend school, little Philipok secretly dons his father's fur hat, defiantly slips out the door, and heads for the schoolhouse. Once Philipok proves his eagerness to learn, the gruff schoolmaster softens and allows him to stay. Detailed, warm, and sumptuous, Spirin's illustrations create a romantic mood that brings richness to Beneduce's unadorned text.
