Illustrated by
Susan Jeffers.
This chapter book edition of Wells's and Jeffers's picture book offers their retelling of the classic story in a smaller format. Wells's text remains the same, while Jeffers's illustrations, printed here in black and white, are fewer in number and reduced in size. The illustrations don't have the same impact as the larger originals, but the smaller trim size and chapter divisions should recommend this to independent readers.
