(2) K-3 Illustrated by Katya Krenina. When her mother discovers spiders living in the family's Christmas tree, Katrusya insists the tree remain indoors to keep the creatures from freezing. The spiders reward Katrusya's kindness by turning their webs to silver. Kimmel incorporates Ukrainian words and phrases into the text for better appreciation of the folktale and culture. Krenina's oil paintings, in lush, warm tones, are quietly festive.
