Format:Paperback
by Heather Amery for the USBORNE FIRST STORIES series.
From the back cover:-
'This delightful picture book version of the traditional story of 'Rumpelstiltskin' has been specially written for children who are just beginning to read.
Stephen Cartwright's charming illustrations will inspire young readers as well as giving clues to the words and their meaning.'
And ....don't forget as this is an 'Usborne First Series' book, there is the added dimension of that little yellow duck to find on every page!
16 high quality shiny pages in the popular 2-page spread format, with larger, simple text at the top of the page and longer, more complex text at the bottom. This dual text idea is aimed at encouraging the less experienced reader to follow and read the simpler text and read along with the longer sentences.
Beautifully illustrated throughout, by Stephen Cartwright, this super book is further enhanced by relevant facial expressions.
Example of text:-
'This poor miller has a very clever daughter. He boasts about her. He tells the King, "Sire, my daughter is so clever that she can even spin straw into gold."
The King takes the daughter to his palace. He shows her a room with some straw and a spinning wheel.
"Spin it into gold by morning, or you'll die," he says.
The daughter sits down and cries.
She can't spin straw into gold.
Then a little man comes in. "What will you give me if I spin it for you?" he asks.
"I'll give you my necklace," she says.
The little man spins away all night.
By morning, he has spun all the straw into gold thread.
Then he disappears..........'
Needless-to-say the greedy King is VERY pleased, and sets the same task for the following night, with the same deadly fate.
And so the tale continues in a similar fashion, until the daughter makes a rather rash bargain..........and is forced into a guessing game, when an attempt to recall the final debt is made!
One of a series from the USBORNE FIRST STORIES some of which are listed on the back cover, e.g.:-
Sleeping Beauty, along with the Usborne website details, for further information.

We are really enjoying the Usborne First Stories series - Three Little Pigs and Goldilocks are the current favourites. The stories are short enough to capture the attention of a toddler but long enough to include all the key elements of the familiar stories. It's possibly unfair of me to give Rumplestiltskin only three stars as it does share all the positive aspects of the other titles I've mentioned. However, the story is just so grim... threatening to take a baby away from its mother... It's just not the kind of thing I want to read to my daughter. Of course I knew the story already, but I guess I expected it might've been doctored in some way to make it a little more palatable.
