Review by Booklist Review

For children who want to know more of the story behind some of their favorite Disney movies, these titles in the Fairy Tale Adventure series will satisfy fans of these timeless stories. Adapted from the Brothers Grimm and The Arabian Nights (although no source notes are included), these stories may be darker than versions children have heard but still remain age appropriate. Contemporary dialogue and simple descriptions keep the narration appealing. In Aladdin, a poor yet rebellious son of a dressmaker outwits a sorcerer, discovers a genie in an old lamp, and, after gaining wealth, uses the genie's help to win the heart of an equally headstrong princess. Lovely illustrations add to the delight of these tales.--Leeper, Angela Copyright 2015 Booklist
