I bought this for my daughter who had just turned 3 and discovered "Hansel & Gretel" at nursery. I wanted to buy her her own book so that I could read it to her at home. I was very pleased with this book as it is very well illustrated and written for young children. My daughter still loves this book now (12 months later), and she enjoys looking at it by herself and telling the story from the illustrations. I would highly recommend this book for all young girls and boys.

from the FIRST FAIRY TALES SERIES of books.
From the back cover:-
'A house made of gingerbread - what a lovely treat for Hansel and Gretel!
But what if that house belongs to a wicked witch?'
Durable hard-cover boards open to 32 high quality shiny pages in the popular 2-page spread format.
Illustrated throughout giving plenty of scope for interaction and meaningful expressions help to promote that eagerness to turn the page, to see what happens next.
Numbered pages with easy-to-follow text.
Example of text:-
'Once upon a time a boy and girl called Hansel and Gretel lived with their father and stepmother in a little house beside a big forest.
The family was very poor and never had enough to eat.
One night, when the children were in bed, their stepmother said, "Let's take Hansel and Gretel into the forest and leave them there."
"Oh, no! I won't do that," said their father.
"I love my children!"..........
However, despite the sentiment, wicked stepmothers have a knack of getting their own way and Hansel and Gretel do end up lost in the woods, despite a successful initial escape with a path of pebbles......
.....and, ultimately, in grave danger in the witch's gingerbread house.
But these hungry children have other ideas........and it is a happy ever after story....eventually!
There are a number of 'FIRST FAIRY TALES' titles to choose from and these are listed on the very last page.
And if you have read all of them, there is a short list of 'COLOUR CRACKERS' titles, too!
