- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Retelling ok, it is very brief (good for ESL?)Not a huge fan of illustrations (Erik Valdez Y Alanis.)
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Rumpelstiltskin: the Graphic Novel is based on the traditional fairy tale first popularized by the Brothers Grimm. A man, caught stealing from the king, promises to repay his debt through his daughter, who has the ability to spin straw into gold. Though the daughter has no such ability she agrees to try so that her father is not sent to prison. While she is overwhelmed with the impossibility of the task, a little hobgoblin shows up and promises to do the job for a price. Will the girl be willing to pay the price the hobgoblin has set? Find out in Rumpelstiltskin: the Graphic Novel.Although this is a direct adaptation of the Brothers Grimm version, the illustrations give this story a modern edge. Vibrant colours, detailed images and varied frame sizes provide you with plenty to look at on each page. While I found it to be overwhelming I imagine that the busy quality of these images would be appealing to others. This could be a good introduction to fairy tales for children who prefer to read graphic novels as there is plenty of text interspersed with such large eye catching images. It could also be used as a classroom tool as there are questions for discussion, writing prompts, glossary and more about the original story in the final few pages. While this graphic novel has not won any awards it has gained much acclaim from online fans.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Mirabelle’s father has stolen from the king and at his trial promised that his daughter will spin gold from straw to repay what he has stolen. The only problem is that Mirabelle cannot spin gold, but such is her love for her father that she will not say that he has told a lie. All seems lost until a hobgoblin appears and offers to spin gold for Mirabelle, but for this he will require a steep price.Large vibrant pictures with cartoon stylised characters will draw the eye of young children, and the tried and tested fairy tale formula will delight them. Though the story does not exactly follow the traditional tale of Rumpelstiltskin it in no way suffers for it. For its intended audience it is exactly what it should be, concise and entertaining.As a side note the lining of the cover is made of a textured paper with rough raised worm tracks. I couldn’t help but rub my fingers over it again and again. This great tactile reward would be easy to overlook, but is great to have in an early reader book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An excellent series with absolutely gorgeous, usually stylized artwork. Each title includes a glossary, history of the tale in question, and discussion questions, making them as valuable educationally as they are recreationally. I highly recommend them for anyone with children interested in fairy tales.
