Award-winning author/illustrator Child takes her multimedia art to a whole
new level in this rendition of the classic fairy tale, presented in a
three-dimensional dollhouse tableaux. Review: From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 5–Child has expanded Andersens tale from a one-page gem
into a humorous picture book that will delight the whole family. Color
photographs of a cleverly designed, three-dimensional miniature world of dolls
reveal wonderful details. The mattresses–all 12 of them–are covered in
multi-patterned cloth, tables and cupboards display real china plates, and a
mirror reflects a princess sitting in her parlor. The prince says that he wanted
to marry for love. In an aside, Child comments, He was just that kind of
romantic boy. The prince now tells his parents: I would gladly marry tomorrow
but…she must be more mesmerizing than the moon and I must find her more
fascinating than all the stars in the sky. And there must be a
certain…something about her. The loving king and queen throw a royal ball so
that their son can meet all the eligible princesses; unfortunately, not one
fills the bill. He then decides to travel far and wide to look for a real
princess. It is not until he comes home that she appears at his door. We all
know what happens then. Every library will want at least one copy of this
fabulously funny and unique book.29 cms L x 23.52 cms W (0.56 kgs) 44 pages
