A review by vtsarahd
A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz

3.0

I purchased this book for my fourth grade classroom as it was nominated for the Nutmeg Book Award in Connecticut for the intermediate grades. While the book started off entertainingly and I enjoyed the narrator's interjections throughout the text, the content was very disturbing and a bit much for elementary students. The book was well-written and each fairy tale was cleverly woven in with the next, but I might think twice if I were buying it for a child that is sensitive to violent content.
