Grump: The (Fairly) True Tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves by Liesl Shurtliff
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This book had an interesting spin on the classic fairy tale, I’m just not sure if I would ever read it again. It’s definitely geared towards younger children who, like me, may find some of the names hard to pronounce. I think that was the one draw back. I understand the dwarves were named after types of rock, but since it was hard for me to pronounce them, it was hard for me to keep everyone straight.

For kids that are reaching the age where they feel they are too old for the classic fairy tales but still too young for YA books, this is a good mix. It’s a little bit more mature and changes the story just enough to keep it interesting, but has the comfort of an old friend.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
