(4) K-3 Adapted by Brad Sneed. Illustrated by Brad Sneed. Sneed provides a straightforward retelling of Andersen's tale of a tiny girl who is kidnapped by toads, escapes marriage to a mole, and finds a little king. With her large head and long, sticklike arms and legs, Thumbelina looks anorexic, but unusual perspectives help tell the story from her low-to-the-ground point of view.
