(3) K-3 Translated by Claude Sartirano. Illustrated by Quentin Gréban. Also translated by Juanita Havill. This edition of the classic story features lively, expressive illustrations, both full-page and spot art, and a fresh translation. The prose retains an old-fashioned feel, eliminating some of the most flowery phrasing without sacrificing the story's details. Most pages include at least one illustration, and the paintings convey the strong feelings in the story. This is a handsome presentation of a familiar tale.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Quentin Gréban. Gréban illustrates this faithful Grimm version of the classic story with a minimum of hocus-pocus. With the notable exception of the seven dwarfs, who are dead ringers for garden gnomes, the characters are realistic-looking: Snow White is a frightened and confused young girl, the wicked queen (in disguise) becomes a stooped, old peasant woman, the jodhpurs-clad prince is appropriately regal.
