From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 3. This modified version of the classic tale has the feel of an impromptu bedtime story. The awful stepmother is the next-door neighbor, who looks like a Lane Smith creation. The Disneyesque witch is a humongous food-lover named Glut Annie Stout (note the initials) who spends her days baking and eating, using the children as her clean-up crew. When she locks Hansel in the pantry, Gretel shoves Glut Annie into the larder, phones 911, and has the fat lady arrested by the police for "kidnapping, being mean to children, and eating an entire smorgasbord without a license." The children are returned to their loving father, who opens a successful health food store. The tale is so infused with DeLuise's own personality that adult readers might well envision him reciting it aloud. Garish is a fit descriptor for both the story and the art. Text appears within illustrations, in colored boxes (some surrounded by contrasting striped borders), in conversation balloons, and as asides in large colored letters near the bottom of some pages. Every scene is filled with brightly colored, heavily detailed cartoon images, but much of the humor in the pictures will be lost on children. Like the gingerbread house, this book has little appeal once you get inside.?Susan Scheps, Shaker Heights Public Library, OHCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Book Description Remember the story of two sugar-craving kids who, after wandering through the woods to escape a nasty stepmother and a fat-free father, meet a woman who's crazy for anything with a cholesterol count above 888? Here's a hint: the kid's names are Hansel and Gretel, and their gingerbread-housed savior is anything but sweet! Dom DeLuise's hilarious retelling of this classic Grimm tale will delight anyone with a sweet tooth. This actor and comedian cleverly weaves a timely message into an old classic: healthy eating is the way to go! With Christopher Santoro's colorful, lighthearted illustrations, Dom DeLuise's Hansel and Gretel is an irresistible treat for kids of all ages. See all Editorial Reviews"
