    Watch out. The end to the original version is pretty gruesome.

    Chihiro's art is simple, elegant and effective. I enjoyed this one for the reason that it was different from the highly rendered art usually accompanying fairy tale picture books. It was also refreshing to se a Western story done in Japanese style art, adding a universality to Snow Whites journey. I am also a sucker for pretty watercolors.(Review and rating are of the art, not story, the story is not altered from the Grimm version.)

    Snow White is one of the most popular fairy-tales in Austria. The story about the young beautiful Snow White who was chased by her stepmother, ended up at a small hut in the woods. She lived there with 7 dwarfs who admired her. From time to time her stepmother, who wants to be the most beautiful woman in the land , tries to kill her. But she is not successful until one day when she offers her stepdaughter a poisonous apple. Snow White died and was kept in a coffin out of glass. The new king wanted to take her with him since she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. On his way, Snow White woke up again and all of them lived happily ever after.A wonderful story about jealousy, love and caring. Totally recommendable to share with every child.

    I thought that this was visually a beautiful look at Cinderella and that it stayed close to the original story that the Brothers Grimm wrote down. Even though it does not have a Disney ending, since the Evil Queen dies by dancing with hot iron shoes I thought that this was a good adaption of Cinderella.

    This version of Snow White is one of the ones I had never been exposed to. I thought that it had an intresting twist. I never knew that some of the events had happened. Snow White was born beautiful. Her step mother was very jealous of her. She sent her to the forest and thought this would kill her. After hearing that she was still alive she tried multiple times to be rid of Snow White and then the last time she thought she was gone for good, but little known a new twist was about to come over Snow White.I thought that this version of Snow White related to me,because after multiple times of failure she ends up living happily ever after. This is a quality that i am trying to work though in my life.As a classroom extension I am going to have my students compare this version to other versions of Snow White. Another is going to have the students write an alternate ending to this traditional tale.

    This is a fabulously illustrated edition and if you're a fan of Garcia's style, a must have. It tells the Grimm Brother's version and not only does it have wonderful illustrations but the typography is great too. Garcia's view portrays the simplistic darkness that the original fairytale contains.

    I thought this book was okay. One reason why I wasn't in love with this book was due to the ending. In the end, Snow White's evil step mother is forced to dance to her death in iron shoes that were heated over a coal fire. I know the book is written by the Brothers Grimm, but it still seems so gruesome and menacing. It makes me really sad.A second reason why I wasn't thrilled by this book was the characters. Snow White is an idiot in this book. I feel like the Brothers Grimm were trying very hard to teach about stranger danger but they failed miserably. Snow lets the evil step mother into the house every single time, and every single time something awful happens. How did she not learn her lesson the first time?The main idea of this book is that bad things will eventually happen to bad people, don't let strangers into your house, and sometimes happening upon a cottage can save your life.

    Though I care little for the story of Snow White, or any fairytale that places importance on beauty, the illustrations are incredible. Already at 4 my daughter is deeply concerned with needing to look beatiful. I dislike how this story portrays good character through beauty. In our society today, I feel that traditional tales such as these do not belong on our daughters shelves.

    I'm fairly certain everyone is familiar with the story of Snow White, so I'm not going to go into details about the story. What I am going to tell you, though, is you should go pick up this edition of Snow White! Right now!!Camille Rose Garcia's art is so visually striking and unique, and the typographic design of the book really works with her art style to create something rather beautiful. I was first introduced to her style when I picked up the edition of Lewis Carrol's Alice in Wonderland that she illustrated a couple of years ago, and fell in love with her work then. I was thrilled when I found this new volume of Snow White at my local bookstore the other day, and am really hoping that she continues this partnership with HarperDesign and continues to illustrate more classic fairy tales. One book I'd particularly like to see in her vision is The Wizard of Oz. I'd be willing to bet she could create a truly stunning version of Oz and its inhabitants.

    One of the oldest recorded versions of Snow White, this book would be great to read to students. It isn't as different from the Disney version as a lot of the fairy tales are, but it is still a good story. It would be nice to read when doing a study on folklore.

    Though our library has this shelved in the Junior Fiction area, I'd class this version as YA. The illustrations are incredibly vivid and distinctive, but also decidedly dark and a touch creepy. Good school visit title.

    I hadn't read the Brothers Grimm version of Snow White until today. I enjoyed it albeit being very different from the Disney version.

    However, what makes this book exquisite are the illustrations by Camille Rose Garcia. They are beyond words, in my opinion. The dust jacket as well as the outside of the book are magnificently done. Simply, this is one beautiful book, a feast for the eyes. I am very pleased to own it.

    Summary: Snow White’s wicked step mother attempts to kill her so that she can be the most beautiful woman in the kingdom. The Queen has her huntsman take Snow White out into the woods to kill, he is unable to and lets her go. He tries to trick the queen into thinking he had killed Snow White by presenting her with a pigs heart. In the mean time Snow White stumbles upon this tiny cottage where the seven dwarves live. She begs and pleads to let her live with them. When the Queen finds out that Snow White is still alive she sets out to kill Snow White herself. Personal Reaction: I grew up reading the Grimm’s fairytales and even have a copy of their stories in German. This story in particular has always been a favorite of mine. I love that the moral of the story is that jealousy will get you no where. Classroom Extension:1) Group the students and have them act out their favorite scenes.2) With older students, have them write a comparison essay between the Grimm version and the Disney version
