Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Astonishing pictures highlight this sophisticated book about a classy New York dame named Snow White. Her troubles come when her father marries the Queen of the Underworld, who resents Snow White's popularity. Snow White is left by one of the Queen's henchmen to die on the streets of New York, but she stumbles into a club where seven jazzmen make her their singer. She's a hit again, so the Queen throws a party for her, doctoring Snow White's drink with a poison cherry. All of New York turns out for the funeral, but when her coffin is jolted, Snow White wakes up; the cherry was merely lodged in her throat. Suave and witty, this story is elevated by its pictures to dizzying, art deco heights. This might be readers' first look at a unique style of art, but they may wish for a change in the endingSnow White's stepmom should have been given a pair of cement shoes! Ages 5-8.

4.0 out of 5 stars Multiple learning book has space reserved on any shelf, October 14, 2000
By "borne" (Muskegon, MI USA) - See all my reviews
Happening across this book by chance, I was entranced by the image projected from the cover, and hoped more filled the pages. This story, whether or not a remake of a classic, holds it's own as a historic impression of 1920's New York, and a marvelous graphic lesson in Art Deco for all children, and indeed everyone short of the privelage of experiencing the era first-person.

A very light-reader, there is nothing involved to evade anyone's attention, and everything to deliver fuel to the imagination for what this glamorous and dramatic world was at the time, and lent to art and society thereafter.

2.0 out of 5 stars Stylish but morbid, January 10, 2009
By A. Brown (Athens, Georgia) - See all my reviews
I bought this book to give as a gift, but it's too morbid to be a nice gift.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rewrite of Snow White, less details than the original, but in a good way, July 4, 2008
I haven't read this book with my nieces yet, but I intend to.

This is a pared down rewrite of the Snow White story (and we all know that story) set in the 1920s. Great artwork, and simple writing, perfect for kids who want a little thrill.
