My son who is all about weapons play right now was sucked right into the good versus evil in this scary tale. Hansel and Gretel by James Marshall is not a fluffy retelling of Hansel and Gretel at all. My son knows this story well and the easy read format along with his previous knowledge of the plot helped him read along with me with lots of success. The Three Billy-goats Gruff (Easy-To-Read Folktale) by Ellen Appleby is a simple version of the classic folk tale with cartoon-like pictures. Now at 5 ( and 35 ), they were still incredibly hard to find and we only found a few throughout the story. There are hidden images in every picture but I am glad I didn’t notice that note until after I’d read it with my son the first time last year. I liked the modern text, the pop-culture details ( a Smokey the Bear poster on the wall being my favorite) and that it didn’t take itself too seriously. Goldilocks and the Three Bears by Caralyn and Mark Buehner was my favorite of all the Goldilocks books we read. DO NOT forget to enter below for a chance to win all 7 of these books from Scholastic Book Clubs. These 7 books would be a good addition to your fairytale theme or any family library. I know so many of you homeschool and/or are doing summer camp at home this year and use weekly themes. When I got a chance to take a sneak peek at the Scholastic Book Club selections for June I was so excited to see this 7 book pack of folk and fairytale books.
