Illustrated retelling of Grimm's Fairy Tale
I found the Read it! Readers series of books at our local library. The "Read-It! Readers" series of books begin with the Purple Level which presents basic topics and objects using high frequency words and simple language patterns. The Red Level books present familiar topics using common words and repeating sentence patterns. The Blue Level books present new ideas using a larger vocabulary and varied sentence structure. The Yellow Level presents more challenging ideas, a broad vocabulary, and wide variety in sentence structure. The Green Level books present more complex ideas, a more advanced vocabulary, and more complex language structures.

The story and illustrations are interesting and visually pleasing respectively. The story here is an adaptation of Grimm's Fairy Tale. The sentence structure is more varied and there are some advanced vocabulary. My 5-year-old daughter needed extra help with this book and we reviewed the vocabulary after reading. Overall, a good beginning reader to challenge young children with some intermediate reading skills, especially those with an interest in classic fairy tales.
