Review: Secrets, Monsters and Magic Mirrors - Donald Lemke - 2011
Are you a fan of fairytales , enjoy reading graphic novels ? Wanting to teach a younger sibling or child about fairytales ? Then this is the book to get Secrets, Monsters and Maguic Mirrors is a collection of five of our very favourite fairy tales from Rapunzel, Snow White , Thumbelina, Beauty and the Beast and The Princess and the Pea.
Each Fairytale describes the main characters and their pictures and then is condensed into four-five pages of comic book strip. I found personally that this book would be more suitable aimed at children 8-9+ as the fairytales and their drawings gave off a bit of a dark feeling and if you were aiming at an under 8 they may find the pictures a tad scary.
Five of the world's greatest fairy tales are retold in the popular and attractive graphic novel format. Beautiful, bold illustrations give these timeless tales a modern edge.
One thing, that is great about Graphic Novels is that at least though it maybe lots of pictures and least words , the child is still getting some literacy skills by reading it.
