(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ed Young. A weary traveler looking for refuge from a bitter snowstorm seeks the "father of the house." The traveler is referred by the old man to his father, who refers him to his father, and so on, seven times over. The enigmatic Norwegian folktale is well served by Young's collage illustrations on earthy red-brown pages dotted with snow.
