FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES
Hobbie, Holly

Hansel & Gretel

(2) K-3 With a setting that suggests early-twentieth-century northern Europe or North America and an unadorned text adapted from Manheim's 1977 translation of the Grimms' tale, this handsome edition will suit readers looking for a traditional rendition that strikes just the right balance between scary and not-too. That deep green forest is mysterious but inviting, and the witch's house looks delicious.
