| Publisher Description: Goodness the little seamstress said. I've killed seven flies with one blow. And to mark the event, she took out her favorite coat and stitched on the back: SEVEN WITH ONE BLOW Proud of her amazing feat, the brave little seamstress sets off to tell the world. It's not her fault if, along the way, a giant sees her coat and thinks she slayed seven giants, now is it? Based on the classic fairy tale The Brave Little Tailor, Mary Pope Osborne's spirited retelling -- this time starring a gutsy seamstress -- and Giselle Potter's charming illustrations take you to a magical world where a little heroine meets even the biggest challenges with wit and imaginatio |
