It’s perfect for young children as when you are small you like little things and Thumbelina is such a little girl she can fit inside a flower!

A bit sad but because you cannot see the old lady much. It is about a girl who lives in a a flower who is freed by a bird.

I liked because there is a swallow in it. Thumbelina helps the swallow and the swallow helps her. I would like to be able to fly in the sky like that.
