(3) 4-6 Ensor stays close to Andersen's plot; it's her contemporary sensibility and looser, less pungent style that differ most from his narrative. Her tinkerings with motivation are also of interest; in an epilogue, Thumbelina jilts her tiny prince. Small trim size, big type, and ample white space and silhouette illustrations (a tribute to Andersen's scissor-snipped art) will attract readers.
