A good mix of fairy tales you know and ones you maybe don't. Some artists personalize the tale more than others. I'm curious whether a child will gravitate to certain tales in this simply because the art is more appealing to them.

Meh. It was ok. Not the best re-telling of fairy tales by any means.

I am aware and knowledgeable of most fairytales. I always love to read retellings or some sort of twist to the fairytale story. I enjoyed the graphics in this book.

Haha, yes, I am on a role, here is number 5 of my big haul for King's Day! Free day, lots of books, ready to read! Well, OK, the day is over now and I am going to bed, probably will be reading a children's book I got waiting for me. Back to this book. This was a fun book full of several of my favourite illustrators drawing fairy tale comics. Some very well knowns, Snow White or Rapunzel, but also a couple I didn't know or vaguely remembered, like the porridge and the pot story. I loved seeing each illustrator make the fairy tale their own and I looked forward to each one and see who the illustrator was. Favourites stories? Emily Carroll, Raina Telgemeier, Jaime Hernandez, David Mazzucchelli. Recommended!!

A delightful variety of illustrations in a quick, fun read that introduced me to a handful of fairy tales I’d never heard of before. My favorites (art and story) were The Twelve Dancing Princesses, Puss in Boots, Little Red Riding Hood, The Boy Who Drew Cats, Rumpelstiltskin, and Baba Yaga.

I loved this comic when I was younger. I definitely need to read some more fairytales since I never read 1001 Arabian nights.
