⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I came to this edition of Grimm purely as an accompaniment to Shaun Tan's - The Singing Bones. I admit to being more inspired by the illustrated history of Grimm fairy tales than the fairy tales themselves. However, Pullman has done a nice job collating and "sprucing up" 50 of these stories.
A good introduction to folk tales complete with gore, dark turns, and surprisingly funny and relatable moments from stories that are 200 years old.

Bradleygirl I remember this one-very weird at times, but as someone who read a whole lot of Lang fairytale books too young, I was pretty OK with it. 7y

What was the first book you ever remember reading?

-
I remember reading Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm, I was 7 years old and it was obligatory reading in elementary school. I was super scared that I will not remember anything about the plot, so I tried to remember all the pictures inside. :)

SoniaC Big Red by Jim Kjelgaard plus the follow up books. I was an animal lover from the start. Right at this time I was also into the A Things Great and small books plus Where The Red Fern Grows, The Yearling and Old Yeller. I was a little obsessed! 8y
MrsMalaprop Wacky Wednesday and The No Such Thing. Oh and Where the Wild Things Are. When I was a little older I loved Playing Beatie Bow by Ruth Park. 8y
