Book Reviews of Snow White
Book Review: The original is so much better than Disney
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book specifically to show my daughter that there is a world beyond the Wonderful World of Disney. While Walt used the story of Snow White to make an interesting and entertaining movie, the original story is so much better. We already own Charles Santore's version of The Wizard of Oz, so I was excited to find his (absolutely) beautiful illustrations incorporated into this original telling of Snow White. While the story could be scary to young children - Snow White is a child after all - the wording has been neutered enough to downplay the fact that a deranged woman is trying to kill a 7 year old child. My daughter, who is old enough to understand that a story is just a story, was absolutely fascinated with all the ways that the Disney version deviated from the original Brothers Grimm version. Santore's illustrations drove the point home for her. She just looks at them - mesmerized. Snow White and the Wizard of Oz (also illustrated by Charles Santore) are "must haves" for any library collection.
Summary of Snow White
THE REISSUE OF the classic Grimm tale of a beautiful young girl with skin as white as snow, lips and cheeks as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony is breathtakingly realized by acclaimed artist Charles Santore in this lush, lovely picture book.Literature Books
