Ideas for using this book in classroom or library and/or brief notes on curriculum connections/content learning standards/Common Core, etc.:
- Discuss fairy tales and characteristics.
- Read other versions. Are there any similarities/differences between the different versions? This version is quite dark…mentions cannibalism (the Queen eats the liver and lungs of Snow-White) and the Queen dies by dancing to death. Might be better suited for older readers who are doing a fairy tale unit.
Special features included (if applicable) — index; timeline; author’s notes; further reading; etc.
