Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 1-2. In this Road to Reading entry, Demas offers a clever, if bland, version of a mitzvah story from the Jewish tradition. Three sisters, Ella, Bella, and Stella, return from their travels with, respectively, a magic spyglass, a magic horse, and a magic apple. The spyglass and horse bring the three to a dying prince's bedside; then slices of the apple revive him, earning his hand and half the kingdom for one sister--but which? Natchev garbs his figures in colorful eighteenth-century dress and follows Demas' lead in keeping the sisters friends rather than competitors; when the prince makes his choice, the other two happily accede, and the stage is set for an apple-pie wedding feast. The text runs to seven or fewer words per line, with an only slightly denser note on the tale's type and source appended. A natural next step for young fans of Alvin Schwartz's easy-reader collections. John Peters
