(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Carole Hénaff. This edition of the traditional tales will captivate older middle-grade audiences; murder and infidelity are common themes, woven together with stories of genies and magicians. The Scheherazade framework isn't as engaging as the actual tales, and the font of those sections is difficult to read. The volume's best feature is its lovely, detail-rich, color-saturated acrylic illustrations that incorporate traditional motifs. Glos.
