Description In Favor Of Books The Steadfast Tin Soldier (Golden Age of Illustrations)
Have you ever felt that you love one author but still you don't wanna read his works?? That's my case with Hans' short stories. I soo much love his writing style and his imagination. But I hate his bitter endings of his tales. I mean why he can't give me a happy ending??! I know he just shows the reality. And far-somewhere in my heart I also feel that he does the right thing. But still I can't love these endings.This tale is pretty much predictable for me as I have read some of Hans' tales before.
Tin soldier, who has only one leg, falls in love with a paper-bellerina. But one day he falls off the window of the house. He faces many obstacles in the world and tries to survive and come to paper-ballerina. (view spoiler)[ In the end, he manages to come back to paper-ballerina. Tin soldier is thrown into the fire by a kid and paper-ballerina manages to jump in the fire too. So they both get each other but it's toooooo late. (hide spoiler)]
Except for the ending(=_=), I loved this tale soo much!

OMG! I still remember cold, snowy days when my brother and I would snuggle up next to our mother to listen to this story. It made my mother cry and it made us cry. A fantastic story. If you have little ones or know someone who does, you have to get this one for them!Have you ever felt that you love one author but still you don't wanna read his works??

The more I read for Hans Christian Andersen, the more I become convinced that he didn't write those tales for kids despite their childish themes. The stories are heart-breaking and his happy-endings are absolutely dark and surreal.The Steadfast Tin Soldier is a tale about a remarkable toy soldier. He's 1 of 25 others made of an old tin spoon. He's distinguished from his brothers for having 1 leg only.. (Yes, there wasn't enough tin left to make the other leg.) He falls in love with a pretty
This pop-up book is best suited for children ages 6yrs. and up. The story line is very detailed and mature for a small child. The pop-ups are fun and aids to using the imagination. Definitely fiction and unbelievable. The children in the story remind me of the years I lived in germany. The children are very similar incharacter. I read this to my 4yr old and the only thing keeping her attention were the pop-ups.Extention Activity: It teaches children to never give up, dreams will come true. An
The course of true love never did run smooth, and certainly not in this short story with one misfortune after another befalling a love struck tin soldier. A beautiful short story that manages to say so much with so little.3.5 / 5
This is a beautiful but sad love story. A good example of the saying: Life is what happens while you're making other plans. The tin soldier is so bravebecause he has to be, and the ballerina is so reservedbecause she has to be. They have no control over their situations, which makes the story all the more touching, but they know their hearts and remain true to them.I read this story from three different picture books because I enjoy the illustrations as well as the story. The first two books,
