This author kept the oral transition of Snow White. The story is exactly the same as I've heard it before, but looks different. I remember the wicked lady queen being a lot scarier, and I thought she was a witch. The characters of this book seem to have casual expressions and no dark scenes or a scary witch. Snow White definitely looks different. I remember her having a short bob hairstyle and a red bow. The authors has Snow White with extremely long black wavy hair. Although the story and theme remains the same, the author switches it up by changing the looks of the characters.… (altro)

Summary: this book is a retelling of 3 famous folktales told long ago: goldilocks, billy goats gruff, and three little pigs. The stories are just as I remember them except for the three little pigs where the pig in a house of bricks continues to trick the wolf long after he has tried to blow the house down.
Review: This book is a folktale because the original authors of these three stories have been lost to time. This book itself does not better nor worse job a telling them than books in the past with similar tales have.
