The Princess's Blankets

40 pp. | Candlewick/Templar | November, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-4547-2 $18.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Catherine Hyde. A king offers a reward to whoever can warm his daughter, who's always cold. A stranger with dubious motives brings her blankets culled from nature, but it's the love of a musician that finally saves the day. Poetic but turgid, this original fairy tale holds little appeal for younger readers. In the striking illustrations, dark acrylics, flecked with metal, reveal the princess's pale face.
