A farmer and his wife long for a son, “even if he’s no bigger than a thumb!” They certainly don’t expect their wish to come true... A classic English folk tale specially retold for young children and illustrated with bright, stylish pictures. Ideal for independent readers who are ready to move on to longer stories, this book can also be read aloud and enjoyed together.
