Lies,Knives, and Girls in Red Dresses

Lies,Knives, and Girls in Red Dresses by Ron Koertge is a poem book about fairy tales that have been revisited and modified to fit a modern scene (so more murder and drugs).

This book was fine in terms of writing. It did not have much of an impact on me or change my views. It did have some of the best illustrations I have ever seen. These are  cut from pieces of black paper and floated above a white background. This made the book good and well worth looking through multiple times. Overall, I would recommend this book if you don't want to read much, but spend time looking at each page.Thank you for reading! Comment, subscribe, and drink more hot chocolate.

  2. I thought these tales were rather 'dark' tales, but also that they were so creative, & brought to a higher level for older readers. The illustrations were awesome, I agree.
