Hansel and Gretel



Rylant, Cynthia. Hansel and Gretel. Hyperion Books for Children: 2008. ISBN: 9781423111863.






Hansel and Gretel is about two children, their father and their mean stepmother. Their stepmother leaves them in the forest, but they find their way out. Their father is so happy! Hansel and Gretel's father and stepmother take them out once more. This time thy find a small house made of candy and begin to eat it. The artwork looks like water colors. There is detail, but not on everything. You can really see the facial expressions! I really like this book. My favorite part is when they find the candy house and begin eating the candy. I do recommend this book to other kids, but not if you are under seven or over eleven.
