A fractured fairy tale that shows us Snow White as a very chatty, forgetful sort. Staying mainly on course for the plot line, Loewen gives us a different look at Snow and Prince Charming too. The story is told by Seven (Snow can’t remember the dwarfs names but can remember their designated number).  He tells a tale of how Snow came to live with the seven dwarfs and how it takes the Queen three attempts to finally curse Snow (with the spell she casts in the  traditionally version of the story). But no yucky kissing to break the spell, no sir.  The spell is broken by an unfortunate slip and the possibility of some lunch.
Nicely illustrated by Gerald Guerlais.  Children will enjoy concentrating on the pictures during a read aloud.  Independent readers may linger a bit longer on each page just to absorb the content of the drawings.
