Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Looking for a seriously silly story, with a dash of the ridiculous thrown in for good measure? Then look no further than the rather brilliantly daft Snow White and the Seven Aliens, an absolutely hilarious, rib tickling take on an age-old story.

The Mean Queen is jealous of her step daughter little Snow White because she is pretty and talented and has a teeny weeny, perfect little nose. Snow White wants to be a pop star, and spends most of her time fantasising about her favourite band, Boysnog, but Mean Queen forces the little girl to listen to her singing the dreadful songs that once made her famous as a member of The Wonderful Wicked Witches.

But the day comes when Mirror, Mirror On The Wall tells the truth for the first time ever and admits that Snow White is everything the Mean Queen isn't and Snow White is banished to the big bad city where she one day wanders in to the Swinging Spaceship Nightclub. There she meets the Seven Aliens--a pop group with a record at number 4,324 in the charts--and her life is turned around. But when the Mean Queen hears of her stepdaughter's good fortune she decides to put a stop to it once and for all.

A clever combination of the old, familiar fairy tale brought bang up to date with a swinging, contemporary cast of characters that raise a titter at every turn, Snow White and the Seven Aliens is one of the funniest books a child is ever likely to read, and is an absolute must for those who like their books fast, furious and laugh-out-loud funny. (Ages 6 to 8) --Susan Harrison

5.0 out of 5 stars A seriously silly story of fantastic dimensions, 20 Jan 2003
Snow White and the Seven Aliens is, to put it simply - GREAT! I have read this to 4 classes and everytime they are enthralled. It is a fun short read for children up to about 11, full of hilarious characters and bizarre scenarios. I particularly loved the Wicked Queen (an ex-punk rocker) and her petrified husband who humours her from behind a mirror!

Unputdownable! - for kids!

5.0 out of 5 stars Primary six review, 13 May 2009
Snow White and The Seven Aliens is an intresting book and is for all ages. We liked the illustrations but would of enjoyed it more if the illustrations were more colourful and eye catching. We thought this book was very funny at times.
The one thing that brought us to the book was the front cover it was very bright. We also were keen on the book because it was short and they got to the point very quickly. We couldn't decide on our favourite character because we liked most of the characters. We love how they spoke about a talented little girl who eventully gets to live her dream. We liked the lay out of the book and most of all liked the speech bubbles. We enjoyed this book very much.
We would definately consider reading more books in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sing along with Snow White
The story of Snow White and the Seven Aliens is, obviously, a reworking of the children's classic.
It's beautifully written by Laurence Anholt, and read by Neil Morrissey... Read more
