December in our school library is making us spellbound! The genre for ROBERTO is Fairy Tales and Folktales. There are so many enchanting books
to choose from including, Yeh-Shen: A
Cinderella Story From China, Domitila:
A Cinderella Tale From The Mexican Tradition and How The Ostrich Got Its Long Neck: A Tale From The Akamba of Kenya. We are also enjoying some “twisted tales” like Shannon Hale’s Rapunzel’s Revenge or Seriously,
Cinderella Is So Annoying!: The Story Of
Cinderella As Told By The Wicked Stepmother by Trisha Shaskan.
It is easy to search for our favorite stories or characters by visiting S.O.A.R. at https://library.cps.edu. We can also read kid-friendly versions of The Brothers Grimm’s works at www.grimmfairytales.com/en/main and a variety of our favorite fairy tales and fables from around the world at www.kidsgen.com/fables_and_fairytales/.
In a special mini lesson, students will share how much they like what they read by creating book covers for their tale. If you know any children ages 8 to 13, encourage them to write a fairy tale, folk tale, myth or any other original piece to submit to Stone Soup magazine. Go your school's or local public library to check out How To Write A Fairy Tale by Gare
Thompson to get started!
Happy Reading!
