Reviews for The Teeny-Tiny Woman

[dukefan86 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Prety good Halloween-time story for young readers, with repetitive words and cute pictures.

Paul Galdone, who retold many classic childhood tales over the course of his long career, from The Little Red Hen to Three Little Kittens, here turned his attention to that old English folktale, in which a teeny-tiny woman, finding a teeny-tiny bone in the cemetery, brought it home, and was visited by a ghost in consequence. I think the moral here, if there can be said to be one, is that one shouldn't rob graves.An entertaining repetition-tale, with "teeny-tiny" popping up quite a bit in the narrative - the teeny-tiny woman lives in a teeny-tiny house, in a teeny-tiny village, and so on - The Teeny-Tiny Woman would make an excellent read-aloud! Galdone's artwork is appealing - I appreciated the fact that the weather immediately turned inclement, once the teeny-tiny woman stole the bone - although I think that, overall, I prefer the illustrations that Tomi de Paola did for Jill Bennett's Teeny Tiny. Still, young readers with a taste for spooky tales will enjoy this picture-book, as will Paul Galdone fans.

I know this is a classic and all, but the ending makes absolutely no sense to me. Great repetition, good read-aloud except for the ending. The teeny-tiny woman finds a teeny-tiny bone.
