the magic crystal by brigitte weninger. this beautiful story is about a hunchback dwarf name pico that hides because he is ugly, and one night helps crystal dwarves, and finds out that just because you are ugly doesn't mean you can't have friends. there is more to the book than this but for that you need to read it. it is a message about what is one the inside. also it has no religious reference, so this is a great story for all families.
the book is done in watercolors the illustrator robert ingpen painted each page's background in one color scheme; like different shades of green on one page then the next purple. on top of that the crystals actual shine, so it will catch the attention of you little ones. my 4th daughter kyra loves to look at this book since she was 7 months old.
i give this book 5/5 stars
