En liten rolig twist. Trollen är giriga och vill bara ha prinsarna rikedomar för sig själva och inte vill de väcka Snövit när de kan få pengar. Men Nisse, han är snäll och hoppas på en bra prins kommer, och han kommer, men han är inte rik.

This book made me laugh. Even though it's a twisted fairy tale, it still is a fun story. I really like how Snow White looks Asian in the pictures. I also like how it ends. I won't ruin it but I really enjoyed this story.

I tend to be a little picky about retelling. I thought the story was okay, it is a children's book but I was let down by the trolls and the "scary" queen.
