Fairy Tale Comics: Classic Tales Told by Extraordinary Cartoonists

I have a 4 year old daughter and she's been obsessed with First Second's version of nursery rhymes (Nursery Rhyme Comics) for well over a year. She routinely picks it out over the more traditional mother goose illustrated book we have. So, I ordered Fairy Tale Comics for her fourth birthday. Just like the Nursery Rhyme Comics the illustrations add a nice twist on to the familiar tales (and to the less familiar tales as well). It's a fantastic and fresh new perspective on stories we've all heard too many times, and often seen too many Disney movies of.However, I will say, given that these are fairly, well, graphic, there are some stories that are currently too scary for our little 4 year old. Unfortunately we never know which one will get her, so this has become an afternoon book, rather than a bedtime book. As she gets older I anticipate this will change and the book will have a long life as her understanding grows. She loves it and requests it often.

I bought this book for my 8 year old niece. I glanced at the book when it arrived, but then I couldn't put it down! The stories and illustrations are delightful. Some tales are familiar, but I read some stories that I had never read before. This book is great for children who are independent readers, but adults will enjoy the book too. Excellent book!

Perfect for kids who can read, like the comic strip format, and have fond memories of fairy tales. I gave a copy to two little girls I've mentored since grade one who are going into middle school this fall. Never forget these great old stories, I urged them.

There is a plethora of fairy tales in this book. None too long and written in the comic style where you get some of the meaning from the pictures. Graphic art has come into its own and there are many wonderful full length novels and even non-fiction research these days written by graphic artists. This is a wonderful introduction for children to that genre. Many of these stories are ones that I have been telling children for many years without a book and this adds the pictures. The illustrations are not all done in the same style so that adds to the interesting nature of the book as well.

I think this book is beautifully done and the fairy tales have a great humor to them to accompany the bright and youthful art. I'd recommend this as reading for kids aged 10 and up. MAYBE 8 or 9 with mom and/or dad's permission. There is nothing vulgar or expletive, but some of the content might not be necessarily suitable for younger children. I originally bought this book at a comic store and gave it to my tech savvy, not inclined towards reading, nephew (aged 10) this past Christmas. He thought it was funny and not the usual "boring" book. Only lacking a star because I wish there more stories for what you're paying - but that is my personal issue. Five stars for quality of art, storytelling, and engaging format for readers of all ages (above 10).ps. I did end up buying a copy for myself. Had to. :-)

Good luck in your own home and projects are you up to take them out the world is a great way for people with bad at the other day when you doing tonight or not typically a while to get the same thing I don't think you can come in town of a while to get it was good and money to get to go back in time and money to get the best results from the other hand b g h h as the same thing I have no idea who he was and money for a great way of life in town for the other one was in my room is now

I was all excited to get this for my daughter to read, but What you see is what you get in the sample - limited 2 page spread - makes text & images too small. There appears to be no zoom options when using Kindle Fire. If there is - it shouldn't be this difficult to find. The text can pop up, but some got stuck, when trying to exit pop up.Pics wouldn't pop up at all. Wish I could change it to a 1 page at a time format.

My 4 year old daughter loves this book. Some of the stories are just a bit scary for her, but she really likes nearly all of them. We looked up an online comic (Cucumber Quest) because one of these artists draws it, and she's gone completely bananas for it. So it's not only a good book but a way to find talented artists as well. All of the stories are interesting, and it seems like it will also appeal to my son once he's old enough to read along with us.

The media could not be loaded.  Nice hardcover editon with a same printed dustjacket.Good collection of comics. But NOT meant for little kids. Maybe ages 10+ will be fine.

Fun graphic novel

Consegna puntuale, ben confezionato.Molto bello nessun difetto riscontrato sia la stampa che la copertina.Sono pienamente soddisfatto.Acquistatelo tranquillamente.

Many stories I recognise and some that I don'tI appreciate the difference artists and art styles working together.The quality of the hard back is wonderful, I don't think I can say highly enough

A good book for learning readers who like the "graphic novel" experience but are too old for picture books.
