About the Author
Growing up on the Wirral and in Germany, Anna wrote plays about talking animals, and stories about naughty children, and drew on every available surface. After school, she did an Art Foundation course, then a degree in German Literature & Philosophy at Oxford University. In 1998 she found her perfect job at Usborne in London, writing about everything from curious penguins to trips to the Moon.
An enchantingly illustrated version of the classic fairy tale, with delicate cutaways and flaps to lift. Join Snow White as she meets the seven dwarfs, takes a poisoned apple from the wicked witch, and is saved by a prince. A delightful way to introduce children to this much-loved tale.

Beautifully told story for preschoolers and nice flaps/cut outs
My daughter and I are huge fans of the Peep Inside a Fairy Tale series and it is heavenly to have more titles being published.This is a beautifully told story for preschoolers and early school age children. The cut outs are also superbly positioned to show details relevant to the story on both sides of the cut out page when turned.However, there are two little niggles:1. The illustrations are beautiful, but I honestly found Snow White’s face a bit distracting – her eyes are so wide set to the extent I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Also, I feel that her expression changes are much too subtle for a three year old. From a cursory glance, they don’t change at all.2. On the last page, the story describes the wicked queen being sent away. My three year old keeps asking me to point out the queen leaving in the picture, but she isn’t there. I would love to see a tiny queen leaving in the distance. Also two of the pictured dwarfs aren’t reacting positively to Snow White waking up; one has turned his back. My three year old noticed this and asks for an explanation at each read.

another mismatched story and format
This is a nicely illustrated version of the familiar fairy tale. My disappointment has to do with the fact that it is a board book format which I generally suppose is meant for the youngest children. Toddlers would be put off by the idea of Snow White’s mommy dying and being replaced by a very mean step mother. Older readers might associate the board book format with babies, but we’ll see. It will have to be put away for a few years before our little granddaughter is ready to hear about mommies who die.
