Summary: Traditional Fairy tale takes a unique turn in heroism
Strengths: There are colorful illustrations. I also like how the story is broken up into parts and the story itself is easy to understand. I like how the author starts out with a fairy tale that we all know and love.
Concerns: They imply femministic ideals which can be a hard concept for children to grasp. It is also a very dark book which can be scary for children to read.
Age level: Elementary (3-4), Upper (5-6)
Classroom Use: It is a different twist on a traditional tale which brings another perspective for children to see.
