I have always been a huge lover of all the fairy tale stories because I grew up reading them as a child. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is about a queen who wanted to have a daughter with pale white skin, dark hair, and bright red lips, and she got exactly what she wanted. Soon the queen began to become jealous because everyone loved Snow White more than her because Snow White was nice. She did everything she could to get rid of her, so Snow White fled to the village and found a tiny house where she later then found 7 dwarves. They allowed her to stay and she cooked and cleaned for them. Surprisingly, one day, someone arrived at the door with a delivery for Snow White and it was a bright red, crispy apple. She took a bight of the poisoned apple, that she was unaware of being poisoned, and ended up choking on it. The dwarves stuck her in a glass coffin in hopes that maybe she would wake up but with little hope. Soon, a prince walked by and instantly fell in love with her. He swore that he would never leave her side because he was so in love with her, when suddenly, she sat up abruptly and coughed up a piece of apple that she had been choking on. All in all, this has always been one of my favorite books and stories since I was a kid. Would highly recommend it to any age reader because of the strong plot and meaning to it.

What I like about this story is that it teaches the children how hate hurts people and how love blossom our life and make us happy. Also I like the ideas of exchanging help between Snowwhite and the Seven Dwarves, they help her to stay with them in their home and she kindly start to clean up the house and cook for them too. This story I think give the children a massage about how important the family bond and the sense of community. This story bring all the fantasy and imagination for children when the evil wicked stepmom spoke to her mirror everyday to ask “ mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of all”.

We can use this story in the class by letting all the children help each other clean up, for example, clean breakfast area , block area, and dramatic play area. Teacher can bring sleeping bag and teach the kids how to prepare their bed and fold out the blanket, teacher let the children help each other doing this.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (Grimm's and Anderson's Fairytales) written by Ronne Randall is about a queen who wanted a child that was beautiful. After the birth of the child, she begins to grow jealous of her because everyone loved Snow White more that the queen. Snow fled the village and ended up in a house with 7 dwarfs. She cooked and cleaned for them. Someone delivered an apple to Snow White. The apple poisoned her, and the dwarfs put her in a glass box. A prince comes along and kisses the princess and she wakes up.

The illustrations, done by Anne C. Leplar, allow the reader to see that hate is a bad thing while love creates new life. The story is told through vibrant pictures and words. The book is really like a movie in book form. It shows you what is happening through the artwork.

This is a shorter version of the original fairytale. If you need something quick, then this is a good book.
