5/21/2023 0 Comments Ladybird hansel and gretel![]() The more I think about this book, the more I laugh, and the more questions I have. You know, I had rated this at 3 stars originally.forget that! I'm giving it 4 stars. Then, when they get home, their stepmother has mysteriously vanished out of their father's life. But in the context of this version of the story, Hansel and Gretel don't know that.Īnd they just take her treasure, to top it all off. Nowhere does the witch tell Hansel and Gretel that she's going to eat them. This classic version of Hansel and Gretel is based on the original Ladybird retelling by Vera Southgate, with beautiful new illustrations of the kind children like best - full of richness and detail. And out of nowhere, Gretel just pushes the witch in. Ladybird has published fairy tales for over forty-five years, bringing the magic of traditional stories to each new generation of children. Then, she shows Gretel the fire in the oven. If you push people into fires, you get to keep their stuff!īecause the way the book plays out, with its simplified text, is that the witch puts Hansel in a cage. The pictures are very nice, and I can appreciate that the story is meant for small children to be able to read on their own, but.well. ![]() (Her previous choices included a book about diabetes, and a book about arthritis cures.) ![]() Before we got rained out, the child picked this as her book from the book store. ![]()
