Description:

A tiny girl, no bigger than a thumb, is born from the heart of a flower — and so begins the adventure of Thumbelina! When she's carried off from her cosy walnut-shell bed into the big, wide world, she must outwit a greedy toad, escape a marriage she doesn't want, and nurse a poorly swallow back to health, before finding her way to a happy new home. This is Hans Christian Andersen's beloved fairy tale gently retold in simple, confidence-building language for children learning to read, with soft, charming illustrations by Petra Brown to guide them along.
