This Disney story i used to make fun off but later I understand that hatred can do worse to you and mother when become jealous of your beauty then your life becomes really difficult and curses are worse thing and death is inevitable to all and wrong doings will not save you from it. Love find ways and destiny find you in ruins too.

Oh, the perfectly ideal tale of Snow White. Now that I'm older, I think it's just a pretty tale with a ridiculously fluffy female lead. The illustrations are beautiful, though.

I loved all these Disney books when I was a little kid and today I woke up and said to myself why not reread them! I will always stand by my opinion that you're never too old for kid's books! Mainly because of those gorgeous pictures :D
After reading through all these kid's books in one day I'm starting to realize that each book has some kind of disturbing element: Cinderella (child abuse), Sleeping Beauty (arranged marriage), Beauty and the Beast (Stockholm syndrome). But after all, Snow White wins the first place in this creepy contest and that is because of that kissing strangers element... Just why??? Couldn't she at least meet him before.
Also all the Disney stories lean very heavily on the instant love factor… which can be fun at first, but no really after a while :\

A childs book with pictures and short text, that tells the story of snow white, which we all already know. Not my favourite one

As a kid, this was my favorite Disney princess story. There weren't that many back then, Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty are the only ones I remember, and I was delighted that Snow White was brunette. The dwarves seemed like a fun group of friends and Snow White seemed pleased to be living with them.

As an adult, I find this one more challenging to read to my kids both because it repeats the step-parents are evil tropes and because Snow White returns from eating a poisoned apple, and I'm worried about giving kids the wrong idea about household poisons or death.
