Thumbelina

Andersen, H., & Adams, A. (1961). Thumbelina. New York: Scribner.

            Thumbelina a Danish fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen first published by C. A. Reitzel in 1835. "Thumbelina" is about a teeny, tiny girl and her adventures with vain forest creature that want her for her beauty. She tries her best avoiding marriage-minded toads, moles, and cockchafers. She successfully escapes their intentions before falling in love with a flower-fairy prince just her size.

            This is such a fun fairy tale to read to younger grades, imagining being the size of Thumbelina.
