This has beautiful artwork with panes on the page with story similar to Jan Brett. There is also a main paige of just artwork. It is beautiful work. I did think this was good, but she basically tells the same story we all know. There is nothing new here, no spin, or any kind of fresh take really.

I learned about this book from a good friend's blog and went straight to Amazon to find a used copy. Much to my delight, it looks to be a first edition from 1978 (although I'm not sure how many editions there are). The cover was in horrible condition when it arrived as it was falling to pieces. I...

The artwork here is so gorgeous. Jan’s drawings of peacocks and roses is enough alone to check out this book and look at them. The one mistake I see is that Jan chose to make Beauty blonde - I don’t approve of that decision, but otherwise this is a good rendition. It is closer to the myth that Robin McKinley...

Text: pretty much the standard story line, a bit on the wordy side.
No idea why the author added the bit about the animals not killing Snow White because she was so pretty. That's right, little girls, being pretty is so important that even wild animals care. No, really, you can pet the bear, honey. You're...
