A picturebook adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fable May 8, 2008
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
We Both Read: Thumbelina is a picturebook adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fable. Like all picturebooks in the "We Both Read" series, Thumbelina is designed to be read by parents and children together; longer, more complex passages are marked with one symbol for parents, and simple sentences are marked with a symbol for children. The colorful illustrations perfectly suit this timeless fairy tale about an extraordinarily tiny girl and the many adventures she has before finally meeting the prince of the flower kingdom. A wonderful picturebook perfect for sharing storytime with young people who are just learning to sound out words.

Great version of this fairy tale classic September 8, 2007
Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com (...in Middle America)
A gorgeous, joyful adaptation of this Hans Christian Andersen classic. Belgian illustrator Quentin Greban (one of my faves!) crafts a beautiful, evocative vision of this magical, though slightly creepy, story -- the perfect look for a classic fairy tale... The text, by educational writer Sindy McKay, is designed to encourage children to read along with adults -- it includes prompts for both adult and child readers, but it's not necessary at all -- an older reader can still easily read the book for smaller children and it will still be very enjoyable. We've read a few different Thumbelinas, and this is by far and away out favorite. Highly recommended! (ReadThatAgain!)
