Usborne GB Illustrated Grimm's Fairy Tales

It's for kids, so expected more colourful pictures/ illustrations

Illustrations are very scarce. This is more a read along book. Would recommend the other illustrated versions in this series. Returning

Perfect book for our 6 and 8 yo girls who love to read. Especially the 6yo it's got some tricky words for her but it's building her confidence and she's loving the stories. I'm so happy to have found this!

Good choice of stories, well told, enjoyable illustrations.

What a wonderful book written by outstanding authors, The Grimm brothers. Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs appear as they were actually written and intended. there a total of sixteen tales reproduced. Less recognizable tales such as The Goose Girl, The Bear And the Wren, Tom Thumb and The Twelve Dancing Princesses are included in this work. There is no fluff and little exaggeration. These stories are written as the Grimm Brothers wrote them nearly 200 years ago.. And they are refreshing as well as refreshing. As you read them to your little ones, you can always change words and meanings if your child isn't ready for the stark reality of the tales. These are not the tales that Disney portrays in movies and kids' books. Each story has some elements portrayed in them that reminds us of the Disney tales, but there is a big divide between Grimm and Disney. Keep this in mind should you read these tales to your young children. The book is made of quality paper. The illustrations are very good and colorful. Read the original versions by the Brother's Grimm then compare to Disney. It's a good book to own in your library. Like everything else in life, be careful how you use it around young and impressionable children.

Superb collection of fairy tales.. neat pages... My daughter loves to read it again and again... Love the illustrations

You can’t go wrong buying these Usborne books. They are truly beautifully made with colourful illustrations. I have purchased a number of them in my grandchildren love them.
