Rumpelstiltskin by Paul O. Zelinsky (Caldecott Honor 1987) is a beautiful picture book that retells of various versions of the Grimm’s story. I liked the tenderness in the expression of the mother and baby and the golden room was gorgeous. Rumpelstiltskin himself was exotic and strange and highly appropriate for the story at hand. I have good memories of this version from when I was younger and I still like it today.
