(3) K-3 Translated by Anthea Bell. Illustrated by Bernadette Watts. This translation of the well-known tale reads aloud well. The illustrations with lots of white space glow with golds, yellows, and oranges--very fitting for the story of the little man who spins straw into gold. Though Rumpelstiltskin's jagged shadow reminds readers of the danger, the greedy king who threatens the heroine's life just looks boyish, playing down the fear factor.
