Our Book of the Week is “Thumbelina” by Hans Christen Anderson. This is a story of a fairy tale named “Thumbelina” - a little girl who is as small as a thumb. This book is all about her adventures – how a giant toad kidnaps her and how she befriends a mouse and how she agrees to marry with the mole, and how she runs to help the bird and how they fly together and saves her life with the mole. Find out for yourself what happens when she meets the princes?
