Synopses & Reviews
The story of the little girl so named because of her tiny size is one of the most popular and enduring fairy tales of all time. Children can identify with the plucky heroine who uses cleverness instead of size and strength to make her own way in the wide, wide world.
Lauren Millsís delicate watercolors create a miniature land where a walnut shell covered with violet petals serves as a bed, a leaf becomes a suitable umbrella, and field mice and birds are Thumbelinaís unlikely companions. Enchanting details drawn from nature bring this imaginative story to life.
