LitPick Review
In the book, Thumbelina, a woman named Anne Marie really wants a baby. Since Anne Marie is not married she goes to a witch who gives her a little seed to plant. She plants the seed and it soon grows into a little girl that is the size of Anne Marie's right thumb. Anne Marie names the girl Thumbelina. Thumbelina begs her mom to let her sleep outside. Anne Marie would never agree because she is worried that something might happen to Thumbelina. Finally, one night Anne Marie lets Thumbelina sleep outside. Thumbelina soon learns that she should have listened to her mom. Thumbelina is kidnapped by frogs, becomes a maid for a mouse and soon becomes engaged to a blind mole. Will Thumbelina ever get to see her mom again?
Opinion:
I really liked the book Thumbelina because it is very suspenseful. When you think something is about to happen, something else happens instead. Also, the author does a good job of making the reader believe that this small creature is actually a real person. For example, Thumbelina has emotions like real people. When the frogs kidnap her, Thumbelina is very scared. The only problem with this book is that I found that the epilogue was a little confusing. This should not prevent anyone from reading the book.
