Reviews

Gibb makes effective use of silhouettes and also of a wordless spread to underscore the tale's more melodramatic moments. Kirkus Revews, August 15, 2015 What stands out are Gibb's illustrations: the pink-and-purple tones of Princess Rosebud's life at the castle are tempered by striking ink silhouettes touched with color, most notably depicting the casting of the curse and the burning of the spindles A lovely adaption of an old favorite. Booklist, November 1, 2015 This version does not have Sleeping Beauty's three fairy godmothers, but it is illustrated with spreads full of intricate details, borders of pink roses, and beautiful black and purple silhouettes, reminiscent of the artwork in Gibb's other fairy tale books. An additional fairy tale retelling that stands out for its exquisite artwork. School Library Journal, October 1, 2015
