mandarchy's review against another edition
5.0
I read a different version aloud (illustrated by Dusikova) but compared it to this version. The students and I were fascinated by the witch's garden with the human teeth around the edge of the wall. Meanwhile we read the book Fruitbowl by Hoffmann and Duntze's illustration of the thistle in the garden was a great point to make a book to book connection where we talked about how artichokes are flowers (what!) and they are members of the thistle family (what?).
We were fascinated by the witch's dress with slugs, snails and toad. We wondered if the characters were miniature in our world, or us in a giant's world and one student suggested that the witch's garden was someone's mouth and the story took place in a body.

More text than I like in a picture book, though this is true for most fairy tales. The illustrations, however, are wonderful.
