Mirror, mirror on the wall is where the retelling begins, and from there the classic tale builds upwards in layers of paper.
Snow White meets the seven dwarfs, takes the poisoned apple from the wicked queen and is eventually saved, with each stage given its own constructed scene. Keeping the retelling brief lets the paper engineering carry the weight, and the turning of a page becomes part of the drama rather than a pause in it. The illustration is detailed enough that children keep noticing new things on later readings.
Where it fits on the shelf:
• A traditional fairy tale told across a sequence of pop-up scenes
• Story length kept short enough for young listeners to sit through
• Detailed artwork that rewards repeat readings
• A book intended for sharing between an adult and a child
Right for young children discovering the classic tales, and a considered gift option from Boipoka.
