Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 1-4–This version of the classic fairy tale is told compellingly from the sister's perspective. The princess's deep love for her brothers is established in the first paragraph and explains her actions throughout the story. This retelling follows the traditional tale until the end: it's the jealousy of her husband's sister and not her mother-in-law that leads to near catastrophe. But all is forgiven and everyone lives happily ever after. Children will be satisfied with the brightly colored, full-page illustrations. Different perspectives in the pictures support the story's drama and add interest. For a new spin on an old favorite, this is a strong choice.–Carol S. Surges, McKinley Elementary School, Wauwatosa, WI
