To the guys on the block, J. T. is the kid who stole the radio out of the red convertible. His mother is bewildered -- "He's just gone bad, that's all... Stealin' and lyin' and I don't know what all." But all the sensitivity, responsibility, and care of which ten-year-old J. T. Gamble is capable emerges when he finds an old, one-eyed, badly hurt alley cat.

The classic fairy-tale from the Brothers Grimm is retold by Carol North in this Little Golden Book edition, which, as part of the "Golden Super Shape Book" collection, has been cut along the page-edges to approximate the outline of the witch's house. The tale itself, in which the eponymous siblings are abandoned in the forest by their impoverished parents, before finding their way to a witch's house made of eatables, follows the standard trajectory, as the children eventually defeat their witchy captor and escape...

Although I do love fairy-tales, this version of Hansel and Gretel is not one that would tempt me to pick it up, in the ordinary course, as the artwork from illustrator Terri Super is just too pastel and cutesy to appeal to me. I ended up tracking it down because it was included in a list of "witchy picture-books," over on goodreads - I have a weakness for such witchy tales - and I was curious. Unfortunately, I was mostly indifferent to it. There's nothing really wrong with the book, and I can see it having appeal, especially for younger children, but the aesthetic style just wasn't to my taste.
