PS
Twelve standards, including "The Three Little Pigs" and "The Emperor's New Clothes," take place in Engelbreit's cheerful, cozy settings (even the witch preparing to eat Hansel and Gretel sports a friendly yellow apron and neckerchief). Parents wanting to share the classic stories--but looking for soft edges and benign storytelling--will be comfortable with this collection.
