Straw spun into gold, a hasty bargain and a name that has to be guessed: Rumpelstiltskin reaches young readers here through pop-up spreads.
Wonder House Books keeps the Grimm plot intact but shortens it to a length preschoolers can sit through, with the miller's daughter and her strange visitor drawn in clear, bold colour. The raised paper scenes give children something to explore between sentences, and the sturdy pages suit a book that will be opened many times. Promises, quick thinking and careful choices sit inside the story rather than in a tacked-on moral.
Reasons readers return to it:
• The Grimm tale shortened without losing its turns
• Raised scenes that lift clear of the page
• Bold colour artwork readable from a short distance
• A story that prompts questions about promises and choices
Written for young children and the adults sharing the book, from Wonder House Books, at Boipoka.
