Review

In this sparsely illustrated, retelling of seven well know fairy tales the author has all the tales take place in the same frozen forest. As the reader moves thru the forest they also move from one tale to another. The tales are written with humor and keeping relatively close to the original telling of the tale. A fun read that kids and adults will enjoy.

Overall Book Score: good
