5.0 out of 5 stars
A simply beautiful picture book, just right for any child-or grown up!, June 12, 2011
This review is from: Snowbear Whittington: An Appalachian Beauty and the Beast (Hardcover)
This beautiful book was bought for me by my mother when I was a child, and I have loved and cherished it for years. The story is sweet and beautiful-very, very similar in tone to the fairytale "East of the sun, West of the moon" and not unlike the film "The polar bear king". If anyone reading this review has ever read "Grandfather tales", they might like to know that this book is very much like one of the stories in that collection as well. As for the pictures, they are beautiful. The white bear is stunning and so is the detail that goes into all the characters and backgrounds. In short, this book is very sweet and a charming book to share with children, or fairytale loving grown ups.
I love this book just as much now as I did as a kid and still like to look at the pictures just to cheer myself up from time to time, or even simply for the heck of it, just to enjoy it for what it is, not caring that I'm supposed to be a grown-up now.
A must have for any fairy-tale book collection!
