Carolsince1968 | Nov 18, 2009 |  I remember hearing the tale of the hinky pink sometime in my childhood. This version is beautifully illustrated and would be a fun tale to learn to tell aloud. A young seamstress has been asked to make a dress for the princess' ball, but she keeps getting pinched in the night and can't sleep. She eventually has to make a bed for the hinky pink who is pinching her and has to get it just right...not "too high and too hard" or "too soft and too slippery" or "too dark and too deep" but "just so."

| Book description |
|
That is what happens to Anabel, a young seamstress in Old Italy who has only days to finish her dream: sewing a gown for the princess to wear at the Butterfly Ball.
Thanks -- or no thanks -- to the Hinky-Pink Anabel is woozy for want of sleep. Her lace looks like cheesecloth; her hems, like saddle cinches. Night after night, the Hinky-Pink keeps wrestling her bedclothes to the floor -- and pinching. What is its problem? And how is Anabel to help?
A grand old favorite of storytellers is here given sprightly new life.
