FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES

The Magic Apple

(3) K-3 Road to Reading series. Illustrated by Alexi Natchev. Based on a traditional Jewish tale and presented in easy-reader format, this story of compassion is fully realized. Ella, Bella, and Stella, three kind sisters, work together to use their magic possessions to save a dying prince. The illustrations have a generalized European feeling, but the story isn't set in a specific place or country. An author's note provides information on one version of the tale.
