Title: A big disappointment - save your money!
Review: I purchased this book as a Christmas gift for my nephew. I was expecting a paperback version of the original story punctuated by some colorful illustrations. What I got was basically a comic book.The description states that the book "features classic tales retold with attractive color illustrations." In plain English, that means the book is 70 pages of bold, cartoonish drawings that tell the story via "thought bubbles" like those you find in comic books. There are sporadic phrases from the original book sprinkled throughout, but not exactly as part of the story.I was very disappointed with this book.Also, part of the spine was torn slightly during transit, so I returned the book for a full refund. I have since purchased an illustrated paperback (what I was looking for in the first place) at Barnes & Noble.
