This could be a lesson for treat people nicely who are diffrent. The soldier had only one leg and was given a hard time for it but he stayed polite and brave even though his life wasn't going as he hoped. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0062050001, Hardcover)

When Fred Marcellino's first picture book--Puss in Boots--was published, its success was doubted. It was one of many of the same story. But Marcellino's version won a Caldecott Honor Medal and became a bestseller for an audience of all ages. Now Marcellino turns to Andersen's beloved story of the one-legged soldier and the paper ballerina he admires from afar. Full color.
