I snatched this version of "Thumbaline", illustrated by Lisbeth Zwerger from a used book store as we are always wanting more fairy tales. I don't think I have another picture book version of the tale, just only it's inclusion in treasuries.

The illustrations don't quite fit the text, as the red and yellow described was illustrated as white. But the earth tones are lovely and imaginative. Much in the way I think of Thumbalina, not cartoonish as is often seen.

I had also never before seen this fairy tale from Hans Christian Andersen spelled as Thumbaline rather than Thumbalina. But I suppose there are lots if versions out there.
