(4) K-3 Twining flowers bedeck every page of this dainty confection of a book. Gibb's papercut-like silhouettes are elaborate, if slightly stiff, and colored in ethereal pinks and purples, except in darker moments. Vignettes balance lavish full- and double-page spreads. The sentimental but serviceable text, featuring tiny fairies and a recurring motif of roses, draws from the Grimms, Perrault, and Disney.
