Three kids share
banter and different versions of well known fables and fairy tales. In this
book features Rumpelstiltskin stories from Germany, Scotland, and Japan.
This one was a particularly
fascinating read as the concept of Rumpelstiltskin is portrayed in different
cultures – he isn't always a man, and the name guessing component is the
common thread. Student will have fun discussing this and other concepts from the reading. The inclusion of the
three children telling the stories is critical to making this series fun.
