Little Pebbles series.
Illustrated by
Edith Baudrand.
Cinderella retells the familiar tale, City Mouse focuses on the country mouse's perilous visit to the city, and Red Hen tells how a hen outwits a hungry fox. The illustrations suit the small format; highlights include the humorous details in Red Hen and the rather quirky style of City Mouse. Each brief tale is followed by an unnecessary two-page puzzle about plot order.
