This classic fairy tale is a stunning retelling with beautifully illustrated images rich in colors and wonderful details. The story remains true to the original while adding a touch of warmth and depth to the characters. Themes of resilience and cleverness are shown as Hansel and Gretel navigate their challenges.

I love this book! This was the first book that made me scared of strangers and truly helped me be safe and cautious when I was younger and meeting new people, even know I‘m more cautious because of the story this book told!

An old time favorite of mine when I was a young child. I enjoyed reading the book & watching the animated short. Hansel & Gretel has been retold over & over by many authors. Rika Lesser has been added to that long list. This TL picture book is a wonderful addition to any classroom library & goes along with common core school standards. The UDL 3.1 regards to activate background knowledge along with EL 1 for teach questioning for clarification.

Tinks Hansel and Gretel won the Caldecott medal award and because of this, has always been a must read for all ages. This book can be converted into a mini activity readers theatre for students in the classroom in addition to a reflection and group discussions afterwards. #UCFLAE3414F19 5y

I like the retelling of this but I think it‘s a little morbid as well. I have enjoyed other versions better but this isn‘t a bad option.

This class piece of children‘s literature is pretty morbid looking back as an adult. The children are cast away by their mother and then a witch tries to eat them. Although they have quiet a story in the end they return to their loving father and live happily ever after.

I would not use this book in my classroom, especially for the younger ages. The story behind it is sad and too morbid for young children and they might not understand or get scared. The Illustrations are very lively and good though.

This book is about the story of poor children named Hansel and Gretel. One night, the wife takes the children into the woods and leaves them there to fend for themselves so she and her husband won't starve to death. When I was little my parents wouldn't let me read this book because the storyline behind it was not very age-appropriate.
