I received an e-arc of this board book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I read this book with my 4 year old. This looks like it would be fabulous as a chunky layered board book where each page turned reveals more of the story.
The story itself is essentially the classic version but the illustrations present many fun updates. There is significant ethnic diversity and the characters where soft looking comfortable clothing - dresses, sweaters, pants and no one is a paragon of beauty that no one can hope to live up to. The color pallet is engaging and bright but not primary which gives it a modern feel. I think my favorite part is that the 3 fairies are in what looks like comfy pjs or sweat suits. 5/5 for us.
