The Well at the End of the World

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rebecca Walsh. In a rollicking story with British and Scandinavian folkloric origins, plain Princess Rosamond saves her father by bringing curative water and treasure from a faraway well. She is both smart and kind, unlike her evil stepsister who is turned into an ogre when she attempts the same journey. This is a crowd-pleaser with bright paintings full of action and dramatically funny faces.
