Gyo Fujikawa creates magic with this enchanting collection of fairy
tales and fables. These are the stories that all children should
experience, that will nourish their young minds and imaginations: Little
Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, The Hare and the Tortoise, The Little Red
Hen, The Three Little Pigs, and many more. Some are well known and
beloved; others are unfamiliar, but they're all beautifully written and
illustrated. As always, Fujikawa's characters (human and animal) are
endearing and rich in personality. Her stunning images include the ugly
duckling looking up plaintively at swans flying in a sunset sky; a
lovely princess atop dozens of colorful mattresses (but she can still
feel the pea); and tiny Jack chased by a giant large enough to take up
nearly an entire spread!
