I’ve always loved reading fairytales, but I was curious as to how this book would be any different than others. Basically, Cousins retells eight classic fairytales, some of which are not so well known. The fairytales include: “Three Billy Goats Gruff”, “The Little Red Hen”, “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “The Enormous Turnip”, “Henny Penny”, “The Three Little Pigs” and “The Musician of Breman”. There are several strengths in this book. For one you have very bold and vibrant illustrations, they are very juvenile looking, but compliment all of the stories very well. Also, the author and illustrator did a good job of using just a couple bold words next to or around the pictures for emphasis. Lastly the retellings were very repetitive, but for young and struggling readers this book would be a good resource to build their confidence.
