Description/Notes
Outside the king?s palace grows an enormous tree, its top hidden in the clouds. It?s so tall that no one has ever climbed to the top or collected any of its seeds. Rosa's stepmother and stepsister Irma always call her a monkey because she can climb anything from drainpipes to trees. So when the king proclaims that whoever brings down seeds from the tree will marry his son, strong and sprightly Rosa decides to make her stepfamily regret their words. Shelley Fowles?s enchanting illustrations highlight this gloriously funny adaptation of a traditional Hungarian folktale.
