Best Book In My Little Girls Library

I bought this book for my daughter while at Capezio getting her new dance outfits. I did not know anything about the book, but loved the artwork inside. The first time I read it, I was amazed at what a beautiful and creative story it was. And it did keep my 4 year old's attention. We would look at the art work after reading each page and talked about it. It is my favorite story, a bit long, but whenever she picks it out for me to read at night I can never say no... no matter how late it is. I highly recommend the reading at any age, the artwork alone can ignite the imagination!

Childhood Favorite!

I checked this book out from the library time and time again as a child. It was just awesome! Another book I enjoyed and still have today is Porcupine Stew about a boy who follows a porcupine into a field and comes out in a town of animals. I highly recommend both books!

Beautiful book!

I just love this book. The storytelling is wonderful and the art is fantastic!!!

The most beautiful picture book ever!

I borrowed this book from the library when I was a little girl and was mesmerised by the beautiful illustrations. Buy this for a little girl (or boy) in your life, they'll love you for it!

This book is a wonderful & unique story!!

I have owned this book since I was a yong child and has always been one of my favorites. It has all of the trimmings, a wickid step mother and all!
