Meet Hansel and Gretel again! This, however, is not the typical telling. Here Willow the witch is a kindly good witch who finally has had enough of a rude duo. Strong lines, limited color, and understated text turn the traditional tale into a fresh, funny, and satisfying story. Readers may also enjoy Woollvin’s recasting of Rapunzel (opens in a new window) and Little Red. (opens in a new window)
Hansel and Gretel

Little Red is one tough cookie. When a menacing wolf blocks the path to her grandmother’s house, she looks him in the eye, answers his questions, and continues on her journey. The wolf “might have scared some little girls. But not this little girl.” This phrase is repeated throughout the story. Woollvin’s street-smart character cannot be fooled by the wolf, even when he dresses up as her grandma.
Little Red

Slyly humorous and boldly illustrated, the girl with the long locks is no match for the witch and not only befriends forest critters; Rapunzel puts fear in the hearts of all witches! This slightly fractured fairy tale is sure to delight young readers.
