Officials from Qatar’s supreme education council were said to have intervened after a complaint from the father of a pupil at the Spanish SEK international school, based in the capital, Doha.
The father said the book contained indecent illustrations and phrases as well as “sexual innuendo”, the Al-Sharq newspaper wrote on Thursday.
It is not known which images caused offence, but the book cover shows a smiling Snow White being held by the prince, who in the story revives her with a kiss after she eats a poisoned apple, English-language website Doha News reported.
SEK headteacher Vivian Arif told Doha News that the school immediately took action after receiving the complaint.
