(3) K-3 Illustrated by Yoriko Ito. Satsu wanders into the woods--where he's been forbidden to go. Angering a child-eating ogre, Satsu offers his silver good-luck charm in exchange for his life and the ogre agrees. But Satsu falls gravely ill without his charm, and his pet fox and puppy work together with a mouse to steal the charm back from the ogre. Lush watercolors illustrate the gently told tale based on an Ainu legend.
