So many memories come with this book. ^.^

The classical tale, however, I find somewhat charming. Although the morals I don't particularly like, as with all fairytales or Disney. They just do teach a lot of good things anymore. :P

This version follows the traditional story of Rumpelstiltskin; little man helping girl spin straw into gold, making her promise him her first born, and the girl becoming queen and having a baby. She has to guess Rumpelstiltskin's name or he will take her son and at the end when she does guess, he stomps through the floor. There was nothing out of the ordinary with this version.

A story retold, but it was shortened. After reading the story there is a lot that was taken out in order to make it an easy read for students in preschool or even younger. The message behind the story is still clear and understood by the end.

Ben seriyi tamamlamak için ve hikayeyi merak ettiğim için aldım. Zaten beğendiğim çizim tarzı ona bir şey diyemem ama öyle güzel mesajlar veren ya da içimizde hoş bir duygu bırakan kitaplardan değil. Kesinlikle almalısınız diyemem.

I liked that the story let parents and children read together. But in order to make the story simple to read a lot was just cut. For me that is frustrating.

Level: Preschool
The cute, silly looking pictures of this simplest retelling of the traditional story of Rumpelstiltskin will engage readers. A miller brags that his daughter can spin straw into gold. She is summoned by the king to do this or she will die. She accepts help from a troll who wants her first born baby in return. When he comes for the baby, he offers that if she can correctly give the trolls name, she can keep the baby! It is a good introduction for young listeners but I don't beleive that this dark story with so many unanswered questions is appropriate for this age.
