Hansel and Gretel (Picture Puffins)

Rating:
Summary: Not so great
Review: Although the illustrations are easy for children to understand and relate to, the story is just not the greatest material for a supposedly humerous childrens' book. My daughter had a nightmare after I read her this book!

Summary: wonderful if you don't mind ad libbing some of the story
Review: I love this book....great illustrations...perfect for catching the imagination of my speech delayed 4 year old...but I agree with the first reviewer who said that the words are a bit scary...a la fratured fairy tales..so no problem, I changed the words as I read the story...because I don't want to explain why the woodcutter's wife actually was bad and wanted to leave the kids in the woods..but here is the funny part, my son figured out the whole story anywau and he loves it. We have re-enacted it out several times in floortime play...it is a great story for learning about feelings and emotions during pretend play.
