This story is based on the traditional fairy tale THUMBELINA but with a new twist.
Quick Summary
If you're looking for a quick, funny read that proves size doesn't matter when it comes to big dreams, Thumbelina Thinks Big! is a perfect pick. The story takes the classic tiny-tale and gives Thumbelina a spunky, can-do attitude she hatches plans, outwits a grumpy toad, and turns her tiny world into a playground of imagination. Short sentences and a lot of picture clues make it ideal for early readers or reluctant readers who want a win without wading through long chapters, and the half-point AR rating shows it's a confidence-building half-page adventure. Parents will appreciate the gentle lessons about perseverance and believing in yourself, while kids get just enough mild tension (a sudden rainstorm, a grumpy beetle) to keep the story exciting but never scary. If your child loves the spunky spirit of The Little Engine That Could or enjoys whimsical fairy-tale twists, they'll find a lot to smile about in this bright, bite-size adventure.
