Frances Hodgson Burnett's A Little Princess (2000)

About book Frances Hodgson Burnett's A Little Princess (2000)

A simple version of this story with detailed illustrations that even a three year-old can enjoy and sit through. Rees (6 yrs.) specifically asked me to read this book over and over, and he had no qualms with the fact that the entire story is about little girls. (The illustrations of Miss Minchin are so sour, and it was so enjoyable to give her a voice that matched that he was sucked in from page one.) The same illustrator as the Adele & Simon series, the pictures are beautiful and so fun to explore. There was one part in the story that choked me up every time we read it, and I had to swallow my emotions and alter my voice a bit so that the kids didn't notice I was having a hard time getting through it. But overall, a charming retelling of the classic.
