Genre: Folktale

Grade Level: K - 5

Readers who will like this book: Anyone who is familiar with other versions of this tale, and those who like to believe that happiness comes to all.

Rating/Response: 4 out of 4. This is by far my favorite of the three versions of this tale I read. The illustrations are beautiful, and though the story remains mostly the same, the new and different setting adds deeper dimension to the tale.

One question I would ask before a read aloud: Which is more powerful, good or evil?
