Expecting a monster, a girl arrives at an enchanted castle and gradually finds something other than fear behind the appearance. The story has kept its hold because the discovery belongs to her rather than to anyone rescuing her.
This cutout board book reduces the tale to its central movement and lets the pictures build the atmosphere of the castle. Sturdy pages and a shaped outer edge make it easy for a toddler to manage alone, and the short text works well for adults who want a complete story in a few minutes. The idea that appearance and character are different things is one small children take in more readily through pictures than through explanation.
Inside the covers:
• A condensed retelling centred on the castle and its inhabitant
• Illustration-led spreads that carry mood without heavy text
• Cut-to-shape board pages built for toddler handling
• An early, gentle treatment of looking beyond appearances
Suited to preschool children and to parents assembling a fairy-tale collection. Available in English at Boipoka.
