Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs (Sunburst Book)10 reviews
Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm K. Grimm, ...

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 1987

The Original Snow White Restored
Quick someone, grab some rope. Disney is down and we need to protect ourselves while we can. ;) It is so wonderful to see this beautiful tale restored to its original depth and content. The translation is marvelous, from showing the queen being overpowered by jealousy, to the interest and friendliness of the woodland creatures. And the illustrations!! No strange little cartoon creatures here, ...
  
  











  



  
The Elves and the Shoemaker5 reviews
Jacob Grimm, Jim Lamarche

Chronicle Books, 2003

A Beautiful Book & Great Story
The illustrations in this book are wonderful. A true artist. Very cleverly hides the elves in each page and its much fun for a 3 year old to find them and the mice and birds too.
  
  











  



  
Grimm's Grimmest21 reviews
Jacob Grimm, Maria Tatar

Chronicle Books, 2005

The Grimm's Grimmest, Indeed!
If you're looking for a Disney version of your favorite fairy tales, you're not going to find it here. The Grimm's Grimmest is a fantastic compilation of some of the Brothers Grimm's darkest tales, as they were originally meant to be read. These tales illustrate a world where humans are suitable for consumption, sexuality knows no bounds, and two brothers let their imaginations run rampant. The ...
  
  











  



  
Little Red Riding Hood/Caperucita Roja (Bilingual Fairy Tales)2 reviews
Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm, ...

Chronicle Books, 1999

Faithful to the original / Fiel al original
This bilingual version of "Little Red Riding Hood" uses colorful illustrations and simple -- though not simplistic -- language to tell the familiar story much as it was captured by the Brothers Grimm. For the unfamiliar, this detail means that this version does not spare the grandmother or Little RRH from being eaten, nor the wolf from a gruesome end when they are rescued! The story is translated ...
  
  











  



  
Selected Folktales/Ausgewahlte Marchen: A Dual-Language Book3 reviews
Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

Dover Publications, 2003

Excellent Learning Tool
I am a German student of three years, and I got this book in hopes to improve my German skills. I think that this is absolutely the best book a German student can get. -A German-English Dictionary is not necessary to read this book -Most stories are well-known, so even a student that doesn't have strong skills in either language can generally understand the stories -On the left page is the ...
  
  











  



  
The Frog Prince (We Both Read)2 reviews
Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

Treasure Bay, 2001

a simple idea, with a touch of genius in it
This series of readers really works. I've been running through them at bedtime with my six-year-old, who adores taking it in turns with me to read her page after I've read mine. It turns reading into a collaborative game, with plenty of play-acting (doing the different voices of the characters) thrown in. At my daughter's stage of reading, a short book can be a long haul, when she has to do it ...
  
  











  



  
The Complete Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm All-New Third Edition31 reviews
Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

Bantam, 2003

All the classics and then some!
This is a fantastic collection - a must have for any home library. I just wish it was hardbound! I really think that's all that needs to be said.
  
  











  



  
The Annotated Brothers Grimm9 reviews
Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

W. W. Norton & Company, 2004

The Annotated Brothers Grimm
A beautifully bound volume of the Grimm collection. With its side notes and explanations of what is going on in each tale, what better way to teach children the origin of these stories and gain a greater appreciation of its creation. This book is just that book to have on your library shelf. I am delighted to have it. (And I am well over 13 years of age.)
  
  











  



  
The Complete Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales, Deluxe Edition (Literary Classics (Gramercy Books))31 reviews
Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

Gramercy, 2006

WOW!!!! Beautiful!! (...and then some!)
This book is not only asthetically pleasing, with its richly colored and textured cover and gilt pages; but each and every story reflects the wonder and imagination that draws us all to fairy tales.... Inside the Grimm's are at their finest, and pulling no punches. This may be where Disney found Cinderella, Snow White and so on - but they are NOT the watered down versions we have seen in ...
  
  











  



  
Little Red Riding Hood16 reviews
Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

Holiday House, 1982

Little Red Riding Hood
I love Trina Schart Hyman's illustration style. I appreciate her line quality and the depth she gets from her paints and the faces of her characters are so expressive. She gets so much detail into each page. It is fun to study each page and to see all that is happening as the story unfolds. I have always been an admirer of her stories.
  
  











  



  
Favourite Grimm's Tales1 review

Floris Books, 2000

Simply The Best
I am extremely fussy about the quality of literature I read to my children. We have a huge bookshelf full of children's books. This one takes the prize on so many levels; 1. Quality and beauty of the writing, its use of poetic words and sentence structure. 2. Not dumbed down for children, therefore challenges their thinking and imagination, while also retaining its original messages about ...

Grimm's Fairy Tales (Classic Literature With Classical Music. Junior Classics)11 reviews
Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

Naxos Audiobooks, 1994

Timeless
I was given this translation 20 years ago as a child, and it is still as timeless and entertaining today as it was then. I will pass the book on to my own children, with my blessing. The tales are well-translated and carefully walk the line without being too violent or explicit for young children, while still being enchanting for older children. Furthermore, all traces of racism have been purged ...

Hansel & Gretel (We Both Read)1 review
Sindy McKay, Jacob Grimm, ...

Treasure Bay, 1999

My Kids Love It!
This was our first "We Both Can Read" book and it is still my children's favorite. These books are wonderful to ease your child into reading for you if they are a little unsure of their skills. It gives them great confidence sharing the "work" with you and waiting for their turn to read. The pictures are wonderful so my younger child has just as much fun getting into the story.
  
  











  



  
Snow White6 reviews
Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm

Random House Books for Young Readers, 2004

Gorgeously illustrated
This book has marvelous illustrations of the fairy tale story as originally told by the Grimm brothers. This book can be great for young children as the pictures are so vivid and life-like, especially of Snow White who is portrayed as a child rather than a teenager. Each picture is a springboard for conversation with little ones. I will be looking for all of Charles Santore's books after seeing ...
  
  











  



  
Brothers Grimm: The Complete Fairy Tales (Wordsworth Special Editions) (Wordsworth Classics)1 review
Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

Wordsworth Editions Ltd, 1998

Grammar
The book could be even more interesting if efforts are made to modernise the grammar to the modern english spoken throughout the world.I wouldnt have bought this book if I knew it was written in the archaic version of the english language.
  
  











  



  
Grimm's Fairy Tales: Wolf and the Seven Little Kids/Pack of Ragamuffins/Brother and Sister/Three ...3 reviews
Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

Naxos Audiobooks, 2004

Magic hear
Bravo to Naxos for recording these tales in their original, unvarnished form. Admittedly dark at times, but, then again, so is life-- no matter how much we try to sugarcoat, better to prepare our kids what lies ahead with the help of magical examples and traditional folktales. These will bring out the kid by the campfire in all. Kudos to Laura Paton's animated readings. A great pleasure to ...
  
  











  



  
Grimm's Fairy Tales (Barnes & Noble Classics)1 review
Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003

Once upon a time...
Unlike Hans Christian Anderson, the Brothers Grimm did not invent new fairy tales but collected old ones, with the intention of preserving the oral tradition of the German peasantry. Whether in fact they fulfilled that intention has been questioned. Their tales do afford a glimpse of a world of castles and forests, nobles and peasants, superstitious beliefs and primitive practices that suggest ...
