{"product_id":"thumbelina-9780803728127","title":"Thumbelina","description":"It's not easy being small, but in Brad Sneed's lovely new adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's Thumbelina, at least life is full of adventure. Soon after being born from a fiery red flower, Thumbelina is kidnapped from home and pursued by many suitors, including a horrible toad, a bumbling beetle, and a grumpy mole--until the plucky heroine finds a true love who fits her just right. \u003cbr\u003e Sneed's rich, detailed watercolors are a true standout, illustrating the animals and natural world with remarkable realism and vibrancy. The story, lighthearted and lively, has a simple text that keeps the elegant flavor of the original tale, yet is perfect for a picture book audience. \u003cbr\u003e Brad Sneed's fresh look at a well-loved fairy tale is simply sumptuous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dial Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803728127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.24h x 8.90w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2004 pg. 920\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2004 pg. 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2004 pg. 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 21 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e84545 \/ Thumbelina: Story by Hans Christian Andersen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hans Christian Andersen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43544259133621,"sku":"9780803728127","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c2d5cd9a-ec6c-465a-b6f4-200a8cf606a0.jpg?v=1706120640","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/thumbelina-9780803728127","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
