This retelling of an old fairytale was not very interesting. I really didn't get the story and it did not make much sense throughout the book. I just found it weird and hard to follow and never really could get into the book at all. I probably wouldn't buy this book to put on my classroom shelf. I did like the illustrations even though I did not like the book, it was a style that was new and refreshing. I think students would find the art enjoyable and there is something to be said for that.
