Of the ArtPlayStories, this one was my favorite. The main characters seemed to be plucked right out of fairytale and put into a world that is gray and ordinary. As they journey to find where they are supposed to treasure their jellybean they teach the young readers that not perfect is still something to enjoy, the journey requires patience and love is the best travel companion. As with the other ArtPlayStories my kids enjoyed the chance to bring the story to life with their own illustrations - this book line is such a brilliant idea!
