Children will be thrilled with the amount of tension going on in this tale as Snow-White tries to escape from her wicked stepmother. Also, children will love the elegant feel of the story as Snow-White is definitely a truly memorable character as she is shown to be an innocent girl trying to survive in a harsh world, which many children can easily relate to her as they might often find themselves in a world they are frightened of. Also, the images are set up in between the passages of the story, as there are two pages full of mainly words detailing the story and then the next two pages are full of illustrations detailing the story in a vivid way.
Many small children might get frightened at the idea that the stepmother trying to kill Snow-White because she is more beautiful than her and many children might get the impression that someone will kill them if they are more beautiful than the other person.

How can anyone be this good? It won a Caldecott honor when it should have won the Caldecott itself - but that's committees for you. Feb 25, Jen rated it liked it Shelves: The illustrations are stunning. However, I found the layout, with a full spread of heavy text, then a full spread of illustration somewhat disrupting as an adult. I do not know a child who would sit for the text and then give the illustrations the attention they deserve.

Interestingly, it has a similarity to Goldilocks that I haven't read before. When Snow White reaches the dwarves' house she tries a little bit of everyones food and their beds. When the dwarves come home, their reaction is very similar to the three bears'. It's very text heavy.

Younger readers, even if the book is read aloud to them, qualm struggle with making the visualizations on their own with the pages that contain all text. Overall, a decent version, but not for younger readers. Retold Fairy Tale Assignment In an attempt to be the fairest of them all, the Queen would rather kill her own stepdaughter than share the title.

Walking in the forest alone, Snow White stumbles upon a cottage. There she meets the seven dwarfs and agrees to cook and clean for them in exchange for a place to live.
The Queen soon fi Week 6: The Queen soon finds out that Snow White is still alive and decides to seek her out in disguise, attempting to kill her once and for all. This classic tale teaches us that envy and jealousy will get us nowhere.

I have never read the original version of this tale but I have seen the Disney movie version of this tale. I think the two are very similar.

The movie obviously has a few more added details and exaggerated character traits, but overall I feel like the two are similar. I was a little surprised at the ending of this tale. I felt that the Queen's death by dancing in hot iron slippers over a fire of coals was something that Snow White would not want. She does not seem like the character that would want revenge.
We enjoyed reading this version of Snow White. Typical of fairytales by the Brothers Grimm, this is a violent story that has a lot of fairly graphic details which are conveniently left out of the "Disney-fied" versions. Still, the tale is a very familiar one and our girls really loved Nancy Ekholm Burkert 's illustrations quite worthy of the Caldecott Honor.
I love that our girls are now old enough to appreciate the differences between the original tale and modified versions; I like this versio We enjoyed reading this version of Snow White. I love that our girls are now old enough to appreciate the differences between the original tale and modified versions; I like this version best too.
Our youngest asked to read this one again, so we checked it out from the library. Our girls did not remember reading it before and were very pleased to see that this version was more faithful to the original tale. Translated from the original with a kick-ass ending of having the wicked queen dancing in red-hot iron slippers " Nov 21, Kathryn rated it really liked it Shelves: The story is a classic the artwork is exquisite.
This is a book to savor page by page. Sep 06, Joseph rated it it was amazing. Some time ago, I sat down and read the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm in the most original form. I did so because I was told that the originals--written down by them from oral traditions--were far different than the sanitized, Disney-fied versions we have today.
Thus, I was ready to be appalled. Appalled really did not cover it. Violence, vengeance, brutality all offered up in the most matter-of-fact way. So when I picked up this book, Jarrell's translation of the Snow-White tale, I suspect Some time ago, I sat down and read the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm in the most original form. So when I picked up this book, Jarrell's translation of the Snow-White tale, I suspected it might have some of this but was probably sanitized for the modern reader, at least for the most part.
Wrong, at least in the narrative. More correct in the illustrations which are neither frightening nor reflective of some of the awfulness of the story. Thus, when someone dies from being forced to dance in iron shoes heated to temperatures of branding iron, the illustrator depicts two metal shoes but nothing more.
Still, in the narrative, you will find cannibalism, attempted murder, and a various assortments of lesser crimes. Thus, if you are reading this to a child, you may want to plan a bit ahead on how either to skip portions, insert new words, or even select a different version. But if you'd like a more accurate picture of just where fairy tales come from--and this is a fascinating field of study related, I believe, to the modern phenomenon of urban legends and all of their terror-filled, based plots--this is a great book. The translations are excellent and the illustrations, well, lovely.
Sep 26, Hannah Holthaus rated it really liked it Shelves: This story of Snow-White is very traditional and the illustrations in this book are awesome.
