(4) K-3 Translated by Anthea Bell. Illustrated by Claudia Carls. The wordy text tells of a girl "so beautiful that...fish jumped...out of the water for joy," though the peculiar illustrations--combining sculpture and paintings--belie common standards of comeliness. The story is set in a surreal landscape where giant meerkats and other animals cavort among humans, including a king whose crown looks like a cross between a pumpkin and a chamberpot.
