Children and adults alike will delight in reading aloud these enduring and enchantingly told stories, richly illustrated and fabulously reimagined by award-winning artist Scott Gustafson. Stories include "The Little Red Hen," "The Princess and the Pea," "The Emperor's New Clothes," "The Ugly Duckling," and "Beauty and the Beast."

"An eye-catching collection of eight short stories which [Gustafson] retells in lyrical, accessible language. Lush paintings appear throughout, and Gustafson subtly tailors his images to the mood of each story. . . . Readers will be entranced by the striking attention to detail in the artwork accompanying these stories of love, cleverness, and just deserts. Ages 5-8."
--Publishers Weekly

 

"Sumptuous visual finery. . . . Agreeable fare for sharing on a lap."
