Cover of The Great Quillow

The Great Quillow

This contemporary fairy tale by one of America's best-loved authors brings style and humor to the familiar folk theme of overcoming brute strength with intelligence and courage. "The artwork captures the bustle and the bickering of the story as well as the terror and the wonder. A fine choice to read aloud, even to children who could read it to themselves."-Booklist
