day after the dwarfs went to work, the evil witch found Snow White and poisoned her. The only thing that would break the spell was a true love.

Personal Reaction:
This is my all time favorite fairy tale. As a young girl I fell in love with the seven dwarfs. The illustration in this book is still as wonderful as it always has been. I am sure it will stay a classic for many years to come.

Classroom Extension:
1. I would use this book to teach my students the dangers of talking to strangers. This is a perfect example of why children should not trust strange people.

2. I would also use this book to teach my students different personality types. The seven dwarfs are perfect examples of people with different types of personality.
