About this ebook
A wise and beautiful queen has a daughter, but sadly dies soon afterwards. The king remarries but the stepmother is a cruel and vain woman. Snow White, so called because of her beauty, is soon lovelier than her stepmother. But the stepmother cannot accept a rival and orders that Snow White be taken from the palace and killed.
Managing to escape with her life, Snow White finds a cottage in the forest and ends up living with seven very unlikely housemates, seven dwarfs! Unfortunately the wicked stepmother has a talking mirror, which tells her that Snow White is still alive and still the most beautiful girl in the land.
The stepmother is furious and forms deadly plans to get rid of Snow White. But the seven dwarfs may have something to say about that!
In this new adaptation of the classic fairy tale, meet the seven dwarfs, Chief, Giggler, Dreamer, Echo and the remaining three, all named Hush! Will Snow White manage to avoid the evil machinations of her stepmother and how will the seven dwarfs save her?

176 ratings15 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Chihiro's art is simple, elegant and effective. I enjoyed this one for the reason that it was different from the highly rendered art usually accompanying fairy tale picture books. It was also refreshing to se a Western story done in Japanese style art, adding a universality to Snow Whites journey. I am also a sucker for pretty watercolors.(Review and rating are of the art, not story, the story is not altered from the Grimm version.)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Watch out. The end to the original version is pretty gruesome.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This version of Snow White is one of the ones I had never been exposed to. I thought that it had an intresting twist. I never knew that some of the events had happened. Snow White was born beautiful. Her step mother was very jealous of her. She sent her to the forest and thought this would kill her. After hearing that she was still alive she tried multiple times to be rid of Snow White and then the last time she thought she was gone for good, but little known a new twist was about to come over Snow White.I thought that this version of Snow White related to me,because after multiple times of failure she ends up living happily ever after. This is a quality that i am trying to work though in my life.As a classroom extension I am going to have my students compare this version to other versions of Snow White. Another is going to have the students write an alternate ending to this traditional tale.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Summary: Snow White’s wicked step mother attempts to kill her so that she can be the most beautiful woman in the kingdom. The Queen has her huntsman take Snow White out into the woods to kill, he is unable to and lets her go. He tries to trick the queen into thinking he had killed Snow White by presenting her with a pigs heart. In the mean time Snow White stumbles upon this tiny cottage where the seven dwarves live. She begs and pleads to let her live with them. When the Queen finds out that Snow White is still alive she sets out to kill Snow White herself. Personal Reaction: I grew up reading the Grimm’s fairytales and even have a copy of their stories in German. This story in particular has always been a favorite of mine. I love that the moral of the story is that jealousy will get you no where. Classroom Extension:1) Group the students and have them act out their favorite scenes.2) With older students, have them write a comparison essay between the Grimm version and the Disney version
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Though our library has this shelved in the Junior Fiction area, I'd class this version as YA. The illustrations are incredibly vivid and distinctive, but also decidedly dark and a touch creepy. Good school visit title.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lovely illustrations from one of my favorite illustrators. This Grimm's fairy tale is a favorite, well-know story by many. Snow White's mother dies. One short year later, her father marries a beautiful and vain woman who has a magical mirror. Not trusting her beauty, she is obsessed with looking in the mirror and hearing that she is the fairest of all.Until, one day, she hears a different mantra. The voice now tells her that young Snow White is fairer by fair than her. Telling a huntsman to take the young girl into the woods and kill her, and to bring back proof of his evil deed. Alas, he cannot kill a little girl and brings the heart of a deer to the evil queen.While trying to find a secure place in the woods, the animals do not harm her. Finally, exhausted, she finds a small cottage with seven beds and seven plates. She falls asleep in the last/biggest bed. The dwarfs find her and ask her to stay with them. She cooks and cleans and loves the dwarfs.Pleading with her not to open the door, she is asked by a woman to buy her pretty wares. She enters the cottage and pulls Snow White's corset tighter and tighter. The seven dwarfs rescue her. Another time the queen approaches Snow White and combs her beautiful black hair with the poisoned comb. Once again the dwarfs return home and rescue Snow White. But, the final time the queen visits, she gives Snow White a beautiful red apple that was poisoned.The dwarfs cannot bring her back to life this time. Encasing her in a clear glass box, she is taken high in the mountains. One day, many years later, a handsome prince, finds the dwarf's house and then stopping in the mountain, he gazes upon Snow White. His servants carry her coffin down the mountain, and in doing so, the poisoned piece of apple falls out of her mouth.When once again the mirror told the queen that Snow White is the fairest, she searches and finds Snow White. Frozen with anger and fright, she is given a pair of magical slippers. The minute they were on her feel, she had to dance faster and faster..Snow White and the Prince live happily ever after.The End.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a fabulously illustrated edition and if you're a fan of Garcia's style, a must have. It tells the Grimm Brother's version and not only does it have wonderful illustrations but the typography is great too. Garcia's view portrays the simplistic darkness that the original fairytale contains.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have always loved the story of Snow White (Disney Movie) and this book just made my love grow even more!
The story itself was amazing but to add the pictures to it? Even Better! The picture are beautifully creepy! And it has me wanting to pick it up again just to look at the pictures! These pictures have me at the point that I want to go pick up more books by Camille Rose Garcia. The first book that I saw that was illustrated by her was Alice In Wonderland and people on Booktube were talking about it. This is one of those times I had to give into the hype. It took me a few months to find the books with these drawings in them and when I did, I bought them immediately! I have yet to read Alice In Wonderland but I can't wait to get to it, just to see the pictures alone!
Snow White will be one of my top favorites on 2014, for the story and the pictures!
There really isn't a whole lot I can say about this book that majority of us in this world hasn't seen in the movie or even read in the book. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I thought this book was okay. One reason why I wasn't in love with this book was due to the ending. In the end, Snow White's evil step mother is forced to dance to her death in iron shoes that were heated over a coal fire. I know the book is written by the Brothers Grimm, but it still seems so gruesome and menacing. It makes me really sad.A second reason why I wasn't thrilled by this book was the characters. Snow White is an idiot in this book. I feel like the Brothers Grimm were trying very hard to teach about stranger danger but they failed miserably. Snow lets the evil step mother into the house every single time, and every single time something awful happens. How did she not learn her lesson the first time?The main idea of this book is that bad things will eventually happen to bad people, don't let strangers into your house, and sometimes happening upon a cottage can save your life.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the oldest recorded versions of Snow White, this book would be great to read to students. It isn't as different from the Disney version as a lot of the fairy tales are, but it is still a good story. It would be nice to read when doing a study on folklore.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Wanda Gág, the celebrated children's author and artist who was awarded numerous honors for her work - atypically, both Millions of Cats and The ABC Bunny were chosen as Newbery Honor titles, a distinction rarely granted to picture-books - turns in this charming book to the classic fairy-tale from the Brothers Grimm. More of an illustrated book than a proper picture-book - it is very text dense, with half-page and inset illustrations on most pages - it presents a traditional retelling of the story, with all of the major details - the evil Queen's three attempts to harm her stepdaughter, Snow White; the crystal casket fashioned by the seven dwarfs for their seemingly slain young friend - intact.I enjoyed this retelling of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which was one of five Caldecott Honor Books in 1939 - the other four include Andy and the Lion, Barkis, The Forest Pool and Wee Gillis - and the first of two Caldecott Honor titles from Gág. The artwork is charming - I particularly liked the dwarfs' little hut, both inside and out - and the story appealing. I don't know that it is one of my personal favorites, when it comes to retellings of this tale - that honor would go to Josephine Poole and Angela Barrett's Snow White or Trina Schart Hyman's Snow White - but it is definitely worth reading. Recommended to young fairy-tale lovers, and to fans of Wanda Gág's artwork.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I hadn't read the Brothers Grimm version of Snow White until today. I enjoyed it albeit being very different from the Disney version.
However, what makes this book exquisite are the illustrations by Camille Rose Garcia. They are beyond words, in my opinion. The dust jacket as well as the outside of the book are magnificently done. Simply, this is one beautiful book, a feast for the eyes. I am very pleased to own it. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'm fairly certain everyone is familiar with the story of Snow White, so I'm not going to go into details about the story. What I am going to tell you, though, is you should go pick up this edition of Snow White! Right now!!Camille Rose Garcia's art is so visually striking and unique, and the typographic design of the book really works with her art style to create something rather beautiful. I was first introduced to her style when I picked up the edition of Lewis Carrol's Alice in Wonderland that she illustrated a couple of years ago, and fell in love with her work then. I was thrilled when I found this new volume of Snow White at my local bookstore the other day, and am really hoping that she continues this partnership with HarperDesign and continues to illustrate more classic fairy tales. One book I'd particularly like to see in her vision is The Wizard of Oz. I'd be willing to bet she could create a truly stunning version of Oz and its inhabitants.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not my favorite version, but nice.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Though I care little for the story of Snow White, or any fairytale that places importance on beauty, the illustrations are incredible. Already at 4 my daughter is deeply concerned with needing to look beatiful. I dislike how this story portrays good character through beauty. In our society today, I feel that traditional tales such as these do not belong on our daughters shelves.

odpychacz.pngSnow was falling gently, tiny white feathers dropping silently out of a blue sky and powdering the ground. A wise and good queen sat by a window, and played on an ebony lute. Staring dreamily at the snow as if lost in its loveliness, she accidentally cut her finger on a string and three drops of blood fell to the ground, creating a wonderful contrast with the white blanket on which they now lay:
"I would so like to have a child, as white as snow, with a complexion beautiful like a rose and
