Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Title:  Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Author: The Brothers Grimm

Illustrator:  n/a

ISBN: 9780735822573

Summary:   Snow White is a beautiful princess and her evil stepmother can't help but be jealous of her.  She wants to be the most beautiful in the land.  She sends a huntsman in the wood with Snow White to kill her and he tricks the queen into thinking he had until she asks her magic mirror.  She goes to great lengths to kill Snow White so that she is the most beautiful.

 

Rating:  While this definitely isn't the Disney version I do feel that it would be a good book to use in the classroom to show comparison writing.  If used with other versions of the story it shows the students that while they may be similar each author has their own spin on things and their own writing style.
