Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"A smoothly paced, lyrical retelling of Andersen's classic that works equally well as... an independent-reading title for early to middle graders... [Features a] small protagonist who conquers fears, overcomes harrowing encounters, stands up for herself, devises clever ideas to extricate herself from trouble, and emerges triumphant" -- Kirkus Reviews
How will tiny Thumbelina find her way home to Mother? In this fresh twist on Hans Christian Andersen's much-loved fairy tale, our modern, empowered Thumbelina will remind everyone who feels small that they too can be strong.
"Adapted from the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen."--Copyright page.
"First published in France by Éditions Flammarion in 2011."--Copyright page.
A tiny girl no bigger than a thumb is stolen by a great ugly toad and subsequently has many adventures and makes many animal friends, before finding the perfect mate in a warm and beautiful southern land.
