Mary Engelbreit's Fairy Tales: Twelve Timeless Treasures

(4) K-3 Engelbreit's truncated tellings are as unsubtle as her prettified illustrations. These sanitized versions play up the stories' "enchanted" elements; there's nary a trace of traditional tellings' unseemliness (e.g., Cinderella's stepsisters' bloody toes, Rumpelstiltskin's violent demise). Fans of Engelbreit's artwork will be pleased by the presentation.
