This deluxe hardcover was originally packaged as a box set. When you opened the box, there was the book and a 15 minute audio read-along story cassette in shrinkwrap. Narrated by Mary D'Arcy.





Forest, cottage and mirror...




Down in her dungeon laboratory, the Wicked Witch moves her arm to dip the apple...



The Witch meets her doom...

    Pop-ups were always a favorite when I was a kid.

    Hi ! I just wanted to ask you if you know whether this version of the read along comes with "new" illustrations, compared to the old one ? http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Snow-White-Walt-Disney-Read-Along-SC-NEW-/03/!Bef(Luw!Wk~$(KGrHqMH-EUErfFbc+uvBK9fK4MLLQ~~_35.JPG
