Hansel and Gretel

Description

Step into the magical world of Child's Play fairy tales... Traditional tales are a well-established part of all cultures. Retold from the originals, these lively stories will captivate readers with their delightful illustrations and fun lift-up flaps which really add to the action. The 'flip-up' flaps encourage prediction and discussion, and well-known stories will give young readers confidence.

Child's Play stick faithfully to the standard text in their new edition of Hansel and Gretel. The only surprises here are the ones Hansel and Gretel get in the wood. The old woman is suitably nasty and her house is decorated with just the right selection of lollipops, sweets and tiny cherry buns to entice any child inside. Absolutely true to tradition and beautifully illustrated by Andrea Petrlik. * Evening Echo/Irish Examiner *
