This has beautiful artwork with panes on the page with story similar to Jan Brett. There is also a main paige of just artwork. It is beautiful work. I did think this was good, but she basically tells the same story we all know. There is nothing new here, no spin, or any kind of fresh take really.

The Twelve Dancing Princesses
| Author | Ruth Sanderson |

This is a tale that always intrigued me, so I look for the unique detail in each version I read.
