Tom Thumb (Paleček)

Main idea: Tiny as a thumb, yet a big story — Hrubín’s text and Zmatlíková’s art, almost obligatory classics at our house.

This Czech classic was one we couldn’t do without at home. Tiny as a thumb, yet a big story. Hrubín’s text and Zmatlíková’s art feel almost obligatory at home.

Short, clear, beautiful. We love reading it aloud.

A classic that still works today.
