Cute illustrations with some two page spreads. I feel like the art style works really well for Snow White. This gives some more descriptions and dialogue than a lot of fairy tales do, but it's still very true to the original.

Check out my YouTube channel for bookish videos and monthly wrap ups!

This was a beautifully-illustrated retelling of a classic fairy tale. I absolutely adored the look for the queen - very Queen Elizabeth I! The pictures were very stylised and a bit quirky, and it was the reason I was drawn to this version to begin with.

The retelling was good. I liked that it included a few darker aspects, and that it didn't overwhelm us with all the dwarfs. One thing I would have liked to see was a meeting between Snow White and the prince earlier on. At the end he mentions he's met her before - I went back looking for it!

Aunque es una historia conocida igual disfrute de este cuento, sobre todo con esas ilustraciones que ame demasiado, pero también tomando en cuento que hay detalles un poco distintos a la historia original me parece, pero de igual forma es una hermosa edición que los fans de este cuento deberían tener o para los pequeños.

The illustrations in this book is very captivating. This was published in 2015 and would be considered traditional literature. I showed this book to my fourth graders and they did not find it very interesting.

Me gustó mucho la edición. Es un libro acolchadito, viene cosido, las ilustraciones son muy bonitas. Es una buena traducción y tiene un precio muy accesible. Es parte de una colección de clásicos importados. El pero que le pongo es que el libro tiene por ahí un par de erratas.

The illustrations make these retellings gorgeous. They are to linger over and delight. The actual retellings of the story are okay. Don't expect to find the traditional dwarves like Doc and Happy but rather Young and Wise. My real sticking point is the editing of this book: mistakes were made. Small yet one in particular contradicts the story. Perhaps (hopefully) they will be fixed in the next printing as these are beautiful versions and make great gifts.
