The Princess Gown

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Malene Reynolds Laugesen. A poor tailor's family sews a wedding gown for the princess hoping she will choose them to be her embroiderer. At the last minute, Hanna, the youngest child, discovers a stain on the silk. With a deadline looming, Hanna comes up with an ingenious solution. The oil-crayon and linseed-oil illustrations feature intriguing dresses; the text, created from a family story, has the feel of a folktale.
