I was not too familar with the classic fairytale Thumbelina, so I opened the book with a fresh slate. Thumbelia came from a flower and was taken care of by a woman who could not have children. Because of her beauty and size, she is kidnapped by various creatures- toads, maybugs, mice, and a mole. She cared for a sick sparrow and in the end got rescued by it to be united with crystal fairies just like herself.
The story was simple, charming, and had beautiful detailed illustrations. For someone looking for a good version of this tale, Nat definitely recommends this one.
