Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs: A Tale from the Brothers Grimm by Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

2.0

I thought I was really going to like this one, but I didn’t as much. It was a very good amount of text. I would say right away, it would be best for kids older than 1st grade. Really, the book was just the traditional telling of Snow White. Some sentences read poetically. For example, “And envy and pride, like weeds, kept growing higher and higher in her heart, so that day and night she had no peace.” Just for the sake of it, to keep kids entertained, I would have at least added a picture and text, instead of having two pages with text and then the following the “picture spread”. Although I do like fairy tales, I wasn’t a particular fan of this version. It was okay, and I wouldn’t necessarily introduce it to a youngster. They definitely have to be a bit older in order to fully like this one. The pictures were nice, however, and I really like the colors, hues, and tones it had. (The ending was a bit harsh and I wasn’t expecting it to end like that at all.)
