review:
'Brave Red, Smart Frog: A New Book of Old Tales' by Emily Jenkins with illustrations by Rohan Daniel Eason is a collection of familiar fairy tales retold.
Along with tales I was familiart with, like Snow White and The Frog Prince, are a few I was less familiar with like The Three Great Noodles and Toads and Pearls.
The seven stories in this collection are retold in a fresh way that I really enjoyed. In the Author's Note at the end, it's stated that the idea was not to change the meanings for modern sensibilities, but to tell them in a kind of oral tradition method. One that works well for this collection.
