A delicious fractured fairy tale about a poisoned apple that takes a journey through the forest.
I don't want to give it away, but it's a good one. A great tale to share for a not-too-scary Halloween storytime. If you're sharing a fairy tales storytime, I would pair this one with The Goblin and the Empty Chair by Mem Fox.
Reviewed from a library copy.

A fabulous fractured reinterpretation of Snow White, with a great twist at the end.

a bit morbid for a kids book, lol. but I guess the traditional version has people poisoned too!

For: readers looking for a book with dark humor and textured illustrations.
Possible red flags: death (where one sees the remaining skeleton) and attempted murder; plots and characters in peril.

If you and your kid(s) enjoyed The Paperbag Princess, you’ll have a great silly time with this story.

I really, really, really, really love these illustrations. They're strange and beautiful and so interestingly textured. The story is super dark though! I did not like it at all. I will definitely seek out more illustrations by Anne Lambelet, though not a narrative.

The story is simple, but the writing style and the illustrations are superb. This book has the absolute best final illustration in any book I have ever read. Brilliant!

I thought this book was hysterical, but it might require dark humor and comfort with the suggestion of cussing.
