Summary: This story is about a little girl who tries to help out the witch of the town when the kings men try to take her horse. The little girl runs into town and asks the people for help but no one comes to the rescue and says the witch is not one of them. When the witch realizes that no one came to help she put a curse over the town. The little girl and her family go to try to steal the horse back from the king but they get caught. The little girl convinces the king to let her a her family go is she can tell a story were they were in a worst position and in the end the king lets them go and have the horse.
Evaluation: The story was good. The tale was long and would need to be read to older children rather then younger. The pictures took up the whole page and the text was written around the pictures. I felt as that the story dragged on and became predictable which is why I think younger children would like this book better then older children.
