Product Description
From School Library Journal
Gr 1-3-"The Elves and the Shoemaker," "The Gingerbread Man," and "Thumbelina" have been retold in an adequate manner. However, no sources are given for any of them. Tomova's pencil, watercolor, and ink illustrations are festive and do capture the mood of each story. The beautiful creations of the elves, the Gingerbread Man's smirk, and Thumbelina's moods are nicely rendered. Still, these stories appear in numerous other collections and in single editions, making this a marginal purchase for most collections.

From Booklist
Ages 5-7. This colorful, large-format volume from the Once-Upon-a-Time series offers three familiar tales featuring little folk: "The Elves and the Shoemaker," "The Gingerbread Man," and "Thumbelina." Although the title page notes that the tales are "retold by Marilyn Helmer," no other sources or credits are offered, not even "Thumbelina," which is told here in a somewhat abbreviated version of the Hans Christian Andersen story. Helmer's retellings read aloud well, though, and the jewel-bright colors of Tomova's pencil, ink, and watercolor illustrations make this an appealing collection of tales in picture-book format.

A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Three Teeny Tiny Tales (Hardcover)
This book is a good collection of three, always lovedfairy tales. Its stories were beautiful. On the first page of every story the pictures were "wrong" placed, which made every story's first page very long and trying. Other wise this book was very nice to read.
Listmania!
