Thumbelina
is no bigger
than your thumb!

Thumbelina is content to spend her days rowing in a boat made from a tulip petal and sleeping in a cradle made from a polished walnut shell. Then one horrible night a toad kidnaps her, and she is tossed from one wretched adventure to another.
Will Thumbelina be forced to marry the toad's son or spend her days deep underground with a rich mole? Only her steadfast kindness and bravery and the help of some loyal friends will lead Thumbelina to true love.
Two-time Caldecott Honor artist Brian Pinkney's adaptation of the classic tale vividly captures the dramatic journey and quiet strength of Hans Christian Andersen's tiny heroine.

Review


The only thing lacking in this excellent unabridged narration of a Hans Christian Andersen classic is a more attractive color cover to invite kids to sample: Wetzel's narrative style is dramatic and enlightening and provides the highlights of an excellent, classic short story. Look beyond the black and white liner to receive an excellent story revived. --
