I enjoyed how you can tell the stories in this book have been passed on through generations. Every author has their own way of sharing the script and Virginia Haviland does a great job of characterizing her protagonists and teaching morals. There were only two drawings in “The Princess Who Loved Her Father Like Salt” and they were highly unrealistic. I did not like the elongated bodies and faces with simple lines for mouths. The reader is left to assume too much regarding the appearance of the main characters. However, I loved the characterization. When the water spirit gives the poor travelers diamond-filled pomegranates, they choose to open a shop with the money where they can sell things cheap to the common people. The protagonists are humble and selfless. The message of the story is riches will only get you so far. Humble people reap the most benefits by helping others. ( )
