(3) K-3 Illustrated by Julie Paschkis. In this "Beauty and the Beast" variant, a man is saved from thieves by a smelly, slobbery dog, who then asks for the man's beautiful daughter as repayment. Unhappy at first, the girl eventually falls in love with the dog, despite his appearance, and he shows himself as a prince. Paschkis's strong-lined and patterned gouache illustrations are reminiscent of medieval tapestries.
