Editorial Reviews

These graphic novels are designed very well for newer or struggling readers. The action-packed plots and the brevity of the stories (33 pages) are perfect for this group. . . . The scaffolding provided by the original fairy tales lets the reader know the basic story arcs and objectives...but the changes in characters’ physical features, adjustments to some plot points, and modernized dialogue all heighten interest for elementary-aged readers. . . .readers who like quick reads and are intimidated by longer books and unfamiliar vocabulary will love them. Fans of Art Baltazar’s Tiny Titans books who are willing to move outside the superhero realm should try the Far Out Fairy Tales series.
