Industry reviews
Gr 3-6 The idea of using tales from around the world to illustrate different themes (e.g., "Under a Spell," "True Love Conquers All") is interesting, but these selections are dull and unappealing. Most of the stories are popular and well known but the retellings are dry and missing that unique and subtle quality that brings folklore alive. "And the wolf leaped upon Little Red Riding Hood and gobbled her up" as a final sentence just falls flat. Throughout the narrative, sidebars illustrated with photos, drawings, and reproductions provide information about the folktales, their origins, where they might have taken place, and what makes them special. These tidbits are distracting and sometimes offer irrelevant facts. Does it matter in "Jack and the Beanstalk" that a modern harp would be heavy, 5.5 feet high, and difficult for Jack to carry down the beanstalk? Most of the illustrations are grotesque and frightening. Pass on this one. Susan Lissim, Dwight School, New York City
