(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jess Golden. In an amusing adaptation of the children's song, young readers ride in an Indian tuk tuk (also known as an auto rickshaw) and encounter a smattering of the subcontinent's sights including the traditional "namaste-ji" greeting, the holy cows that wander freely, and a Diwali celebration. The author's note and glossary explain these elements simply. Festive watercolor, pastel, and colored-pencil illustrations enhance the ride.
