Illustrated by
Gary Clement.
Two-Eyes is the name of the Cinderella-like heroine, whose aptly named sisters One-Eye and Three-Eyes find her embarrassingly different. Clement's pencil and watercolor pictures set the story in the countryside, as expected, but include modern-day inventions and other humorous details. All three sisters look comically awkward, heightening the story's droll message that all of us are funny-looking in our own ways.
