Source: Publisher's Weekly
Age: 10-15
Evaluation of Quality: The characters in this fable are very memorable: the main character Ivan makes many foolish decisions but his faithful friend Double-Hump is always there to provide a comforting shoulder.
Assessment of potential use: This folktale can be used as assigned reading for a curriculum about fairy tales around the world.
Assessment of appeal to children: Children will laugh at the exasperation of Double-Hump with the other foolish characters and will be interested in the inventive world-building.

This is a great story, but I always wondered why Ivan just married the princess, if before he found her completely unattractive.
