The Brave Little Seamstress

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Giselle Potter. After killing seven flies at once, a seamstress embroiders "SEVEN WITH ONE BLOW!" on her coat. Upon seeing it, first a giant and then a king assumes, respectively, that she has slain seven giants and seven knights, and they issue physical challenges that she negotiates with her wits. This strong, feminist retelling of the "The Brave Little Tailor" is perfectly complemented by quirky mixed-media illustrations.
