Tom Thumb

Four classic Grimm's fairy tales are retold in this delightful collection with the endearing and captivating illustrations of the inimitable Eric Carle. We open with the beloved story of Tom Thumb told with plenty of narrative and memorable pictures of the Tom on a horse, Tom on a hat, Tom in a shell and so on. The bright colors and warmth deliver the fun and imagination. The Fisherman and His Wife, a classic, is followed by Hans in Luck, one I didn't know, and the final tale is The Seven Swabians. There are 47 pages so this is great for a bedtime story before the light goes out. This is a reprint of a book previously published as ERIC CARLE'S TREASURY OF CLASSIC STORIES FOR CHILDREN.   Ages  5 and up   47 pages
