العمل يبعد الإنسان عن ثلاث شرور السأم*
* و الرذيلة و الحاجة

الأخوين جريم ليس لديهم ما هو معتاد او مكرر؛ في قصة اسطورية /واقعية نجد هنا الام تفضل الابنة الاقل جمالاً و تبغددها و تدللها؛
و تستعبد الابنة الجميلة المتبناة في اعمال سيزيفية و عقوبات لا انسانية تؤدي بها الي مكان و مصير افضل و لكن؛ شعار جريم ؛ انت لن تتوقعني ابدا ليوكدوا لنا ان* من يحلم بالنجاح عليه ان يصحو باكرا لتحقيقه *

A cute retelling of the classic Grimm tale, it had that whimsical feeling with the dark underbelly. I enjoyed it, but it didn't have that great read aloud factor, so I wouldn't use it in a story time.

One of those fairy tales designed to scare children into behaving themselves.

Treat others how you want to be treated and you give what you get. Two good lessons.

A reap what you sow fairytale.

the illustrations were really pretty... I liked the beginning but not the ending.
