one’ in their own homes.”

GRANDFATHER TWILIGHT
“The coming of night is fancifully
explained via the glowing figure of
Grandfather Twilight, a benign, mysterious
figure who walks through the woods
to the seaside to release an incandescent
pearl that becomes the moon....one of
the simplest yet most successful of tales
that could become legends...a book that
enriches our heritage of mythology and
legends.” —The Horn Book

THE KING’S CHESSBOARD
Illustrated by Devis Grebu
At the king’s urging, a wise man chooses
a reward—some rice for each square
of the chessboard, the amount to be
doubled each day. The king is thrilled by
this deceptively simple request. but as the
days pass, the royal granaries are almost
depleted. “Should intrigue children by its
mathematical possibilities as much as by
its moral lesson.” —Kirkus
