What if instead of 7 dwarfs there were 77? Davide Cali and Raphaëlle Barbanègre reimagine Snow White with hilarious results. A funny, twisted retelling of the classic fairy tale. For fans of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka and The Three Pigs by David Weisner.

Snow White is on the run from an evil witch when she comes across some dwarfs in the forest. They agree to take her in and keep her safe if she will help them with their chores. She soon realizes she's taking on a lot more than she bargained for. 77 breakfasts to make, 77 lunches to pack (don't forget the juice boxes!), 77 pairs of pants to mend and a whole lot of dishes. Eventually Snow White decides to take her chances with the witch. There's a surprise ending... well, it may not be so surprising. This is a hilarious retelling of the classic tale, with bright, energetic illustrations featuring busy dwarfs, and the even busier Snow White.

Praise for Snow White and the 77 Dwarfs

PRAISE FOR Davide Cali's I Love Chocolate: "Let us stuff our caloric worries away and now praise, in read-aloud voice, chocolate - that giver of happiness... The characters have the elemental sophistication of stone pictographs come to life, with great, stick-figure maws ever ready for chocolate insertion. The colors are gorgeous and, appropriately, are reminiscent of a Wayne Thiebaud cupcake - chocolate, of course." -- Kirkus Reviews "...the text captures the essence of chocolate-its varying incarnations and textures-and it will leave everyone salivating. In addition to being a great candidate for programs, the book has potential as an easy reader as well... a sweet storytime." -- School Library Journal "...a celebration of all things chocolate... a 'feel good' book that, although geared primarily to young children, will appeal to people of all ages." -- Highly Recommended, CM Magazine
