Modern Fantasy, Ages 5-6 years old This is such a sweet book. It is one of my childhood favorites. This would be great in a preschool classroom and would help the kids learn about imagination, bravery and kindness. Her pictures are so darling and really colorful. I will have this on my classroom bookshelf for sure.
