If you're looking for children's book for girls, I have a recommendation and the book is on sale for the month of February! Do you remember the story The Princess and the Pea? What about the Sleeping Beauty? Here is a list of information on the product.
* The Barefoot Book of Princesses -
Hardcover & CD


This warm and humorous collection presents much-loved favorites such as "The Princess and the Pea" from Denmark and less familiar figures including "The Mountain Princess" from Persia and "The Horned Snake's Wife" from the Iroquois of North America. Caitlin Matthews's wonderfully dramatic retellings are perfect for reading aloud, while Olwyn Whelan's bright and witty illustrations are a feast in themselves.

Awards and Honors
Smithsonian Notable Book, 1999
Recent praise:
"Talking birds, magic red beans and, of course, resourceful heroines, tumbling out from a jaunty, fantastical compendium that reflects sources as various as Scandinavia, China and Persia." - Smithsonian Magazine

"Matthews come[s] up with treasure.... Whelan's effervescent artwork recalls Jane Ray's in composition, color and use of detail and borders. She tailors her delicate watercolors to each story's country of origin." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Those who enjoy fairy tales in their homes will love these stories… The illustrations are whimsical and colorful, full of delightful detail.” -The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
