Beautiful!
I could not be more thrilled with "The Red Shoes". My husband and I are always looking for special books to fill out our daughter's growing library, and we were not disappointed with this one. The illustrations are gorgeous and entertaining even to an adult sensibility. Our daughter simply appreciates the incredible detail and the sweetness of the story itself.

Gorgeous illustrations, but the story doesn't compare
I ordered this book based on the illustrations, which are just gorgeous. However, this is not a children's story. There is nothing uplifting or engaging about the narrative. Even the "scary parts" are related flatly. This is a book for a 20-something with a strong design sense and career hopes, not for a five year old who wants a fairy tale.

This book has great illustrations. However, there are numerous writing/editing errors. The worst of which is the phrase "caught site of" instead of "caught sight of". Also, the vocabulary and sentence structure is a little intense for preschoolers. I agree that it is more suitable for adults.

I bought 2 copies of this book for my little princess, and I gave one to her on her 3rd birthday.
Another one is for when she becomes a lady, because she really loves it. :) The illustrations on this book are awesome, and all the details are great! Thanks!

I love this book. It's beautifully illustrated and the story is sad, sweet, and meaningful. I only wish the shoes were colored red in the illustrations. I colored them myself in the copy I gave a friend. :)

This is a lovely book, especially for little girls. The heroine is strong and clever, and the story has a good moral. The illustrations are worthy of framing.

As Everyone Woman Has A Little Black Dress...,

This review is from: The Red Shoes - Illustrated Ed (Hardcover)
...Every woman and girl with style and taste has their little "red shoes."
I bought this as a gift for a newborn baby girl and a artsy-fashionista 7 year old and received nothing but "I love this book. Where can I get another copy." The illustration work is timeless and the story is memorable. This book is a classic that every little girl should have. |
