OK, we bought Rapunzel.
The good -- my five year old daughter loved the illustrations, she thought they were cute and rated the book '5 stars' when I asked her to rate it 1 - 5.
The bad -- the illustrations are placed in funny spots from my perspective; many of them give away bits of the story, and are placed before the text. This is fine for an adult who knows the story, but it ruined some of the fun for her, since she only kind of knows the story.
The weird -- one of the illustrations, the one showing the prince's eyes getting healed -- showed up once, then disappeared and would not re-render; I tried changing fonts, orientation, etc. No go; he's missing. But I'm sure I saw him!!
Overall, fun, and we'll buy another one. A little more time on the layout side of life would have made it a more fun experience. Thanks for getting the artists together, I'm glad to have some classics with fresh illustrations.
