Critics Review

“The fun, shaped board book is perfect for young readers and brings the classic fairy tale to life with simple text and colorful illustrations. Each page is like a scene from the story in a smaller size for little hands to read over and over. A great version of the Grimm classic to have in every child’s home library. This timeless lesson on being resourceful and on the lookout for deception continues to resonate.” —Julie Durmis, Youth Services Book Review

“Pohled na zavřenou knihu působí optimálně, ale stránky jsou zajímavé i při čtení. Jsem také velkým příznivcem toho, aby děti znaly spoustu lidových a pohádkových příběhů.” —Karen Yingling, YA Books Central

“These small boardbooks have fun shapes, following the adventures of the main characters of each story. I really love the fun concept of these books ! They can also make a perfect background if your child has small figurines and enjoys inventing stories.The illustrations are truly adorable and sweet as well.” —A Blue Box Full of Books, IG

“Timeless favorites including, “Three Little Pigs,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” and “Hansel and Gretel,” reimagine the beloved stories in charming shapes that feature scenes and settings from the fables. I adore fairy tales, both new and modern. This terrific and tactile collection features the endlessly enduring and relatable themes and messages of each story, along with vivid visual elements. Fantastic and fresh fairy tale fun.” —Olivia the Librarian, IG
