This review is from: Tiny Tilda's Pumpkin Pie (Reading Railroad Books) (Paperback)

I enjoyed Tiny Tilda enormously. This retelling of a classic childrens' story is made all the more meaningful by the contemporary ending which teaches that hard work, independence and self-reliance as well as sharing and collaboration with others leads to success and prosperity. Tiny Tilda is a wonderful role model and encourages children that strength of character and kindness leads to good results. As a mother of a school age child and a Psychologist, I strongly recommend this book. The hysterical illustrations are a joy to look at and it is a pleasure to read.
