(this is a new thread because it's for a different book than my last title question thread was)

I can't use Dragons and Dreams for my fairy tale collection - the title is taken by a Jane Yolen SF/f collection.

Unless I can think of something better, it looks like I'm back to A Princess for Tea and Other Stories - but I'm afraid that that will ghettoize the book as being for girls only, and I have it on good opinion that at least one 10 year old boy likes the stories.

There are currently 6 stories in the collection:

Princess for Tea
Grumpy Dragon
Sunflower
The Dark
Third Precious Thing
Child of Promise

The go roughly from sily to serious, and mostly in age-appropriateness order, except that Sunflower is for a younger crowd but I want to put Princess for Tea first because it's a stronger story and I want people to see it in the Look Inside feature.

Any suggestions?
