Who is Thumbelina?

Adventures with Funny Friends (and Foes!)

Thumbelina's journey is full of surprises! First, a big toad wants her to marry its son, but Thumbelina doesn't want to. Then, a grumpy mole tries to make her his wife, and a beetle called a cockchafer also causes trouble. Luckily, Thumbelina is clever and manages to escape them all. She dreams of finding someone just her size to be friends with.

It’s a sweet ending to a wonderful fairy tale!
