Tom Thumb

This is actually a collection of four of Grimms’ tales: Tom Thumb, The Fisherman and His Wife, Hans in Luck, and The Seven Swabians.  I would have liked it better if Eric Carle had dedicated an individual book to each of the first three (the last one was a little odd — could’ve just not bothered).  His distinctive and fabulous artwork is what makes Eric Carle’s work so amazing, but this volume had too high a ratio of white space and words to somewhat limited artwork.
