(4) K-3 My First Fairy Tales series. Illustrated by Kate Pankhurst. These standard retellings are mostly traditional with the expected twists and tangles. Only "Jack" is changed: Jack makes one trip up the beanstalk instead of three, which robs this version of suspenseful buildup and richness. The cartoon illustrations, featuring googly-eyed characters, match the light tone of the texts. Glossy, thick, sturdy paper will stand up to many readings. No sources are provided. Review covers these My First Fairy Tales titles: Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, and The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
