Synopsis:
Charming watercolors tell a story within a story as Aunt Isabel concocts a fanciful tale that helps explain the elements of good fiction to her niece Penelope.
Review:
"Children will identify with bright-eyed, feisty Penelope. . . . An entertaining way to introduce [them] to the elements of storytelling."--School Library Journal
"All in all: an entertaining production."--Kirkus Reviews
"The droll, neatly executed watercolor illustrations are an integral part of the story. . . . A fine book to enjoy on its own merits, but it will also be useful for teachers."--Booklist
"Delicate watercolors brim with fairy-tale characters and atmosphere. . . . The diverting story-within-a-story is an inviting opportunity for youngsters to double their fun."--Publishers Weekly
