| Roar! is an excellent guide for families searching for external essays on Lewis' children's masterpieces. I found the sections for the parents and children easy to differentiate, and even found parts of the children's sections enjoyable and entertaining to read (this coming from a 22-year old).
But when it comes to some of the essays, I found that there was really no originality between one essay from the next, as they seemed to reiterate quite a few things. Some of the essays positioned in the earlier ... Read More: |

| Wonderful illustrations, good story up until the closing. Eagles do have their faults, but no mention was made of their devotion to family and courage to provide protection. I was going to give it to a grandson for Christmas whose name is Erik, but am disappointed in the book so will not be gifting it. |

| 145.From the Beast to the Blonde: On Fairy Tales and Their Tellers by: Marina Warner September 30, 1996 |

| Average Rating: >>More Details |
 |
|
| Author Marina Warner has dug deep into the history and meaning behind the celebrated fairy tales I loved as a child. Well-written and alive with insight of the heroine's journey in these precious stories, I will continue to use this book to enhance and bring forth a deeper, complex character for the heroines I create in my own novels.

 |
|
| I am finishing up my master's program soon. In doing research on Charlotte Huck, I found this book. It has so much "no nonsense" information in it! Everything Huck has said since the first edition of this book has been right on the money. I am a literacy coach for K-5, and I think that this book is by far the best resource I have. It tells which books to use for certain grade levels, genres, subject areas... AND it tells a little bit about the books that the authors chose. It is chock full of the history of reading, understanding ... Read More: |

|
| Not quite up to "Penrod," but still a lot of fun. The ending lacks the satisfaction of that of its predecessor--but there's no way it could match THAT. |
