(Woodcut illustrations tell the story of a mouse turned in...)
Woodcut illustrations tell the story of a mouse turned into many bigger creatures until he is at last a tiger. He is an arrogant tiger though so he is turned back into a mouse and never heard from again. A story that ends where it began with contemplation on the concept of big and little... Must see!

(There is perhaps no better loved, no more universal story...)
There is perhaps no better loved, no more universal story than "Cinderella." Almost every country in the world has a version of it, but the favorite of story-tellers is the French version by Charles Perrault. This translation is excellent for story-telling and also for reading aloud. Marcia Brown's illustrations are full of magic and enchantment from the little cupids putting back the hands of the clock to the last scene at the palace. They are pictures that will stay in a child's mind.
