Title: Too lengthy in words, too mediocre in story
Review: This book was a visual treat with a soft, whimsical style of art. I praise it for that. I opened it hoping to find a classic fairytale but instead the story seemed muddled and confused about what it was trying to be. Things felt too stereotypical and there was nothing fresh or new. I was constantly reminded of other classic (and more coherent) fairytale stories as I read through this one.Not only is it overly long and a bit dull in its tone, (making it almost tedious at times to finish), it also lacked any originality aside from the colorful illustrations. I wouldn't recommend this book, unless your child is okay with sitting still for a long while to listen to a very wordy story.
