A First Book of Fairy Tales

Product Information

I think I'm just not a lover of short stories, I much prefer a long story that I can sink my teeth into, get more invested into the characters and something that is a bit more of a page turner. We use thick, high-quality paper sourced from sustainable forests (FSC-certified) so it's good for our wonderful planet, too. Your little one will love this collection of four much-loved, classic fairy tales: Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Hansel and Gretel, the Three Little Pigs and Cinderella.

This stunning collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world- from the Arctic to Asia – and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies.Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. Children enjoy the playful way their expectations are turned on their head and these books make an excellent starting point to stimulate lots of their own ideas and writing.

The bloodthirsty biographies of the world’s most infamous pirates are reproduced in this Folio edition of Captain Charles Johnson’s renowned work, including original woodcut illustrations and a fascinating introduction by Margarette Lincoln. They’ll meet characters from the world of fairy tales and hear their stories, making it the perfect way to introduce children to the classic stories you loved as a child. This magnificent book combines two well-known fairy tales and challenges everything familiar about them. Another interesting observation is that, unlike most folktale collections I've read, these stories differ substantially in dialect.Together, they form a perfect introduction to the different types of traditional stories and their place in English oral and written heritage. Mary Shelley's darkly disturbing tale is illustrated by Angela Barrett and newly introduced by Richard Holmes. Some of the illustrations are gorgeous like: The Twelve Dancing Princesses, The Princes and the pea and Rumplestiltskin while others are simply dreadful like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and The Snow Queen. A beautiful collection of ten classic fairytales retold for young children and illustrated throughout. Stories like Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel and The Three Little Pigs have been around hundreds of years.

El libro además incluye las ilustraciones originales de Corina Sargood, que parecen sombras chinescas y son muy adecuadas a la narración, porque no fijan los personajes a un modelo particular. Her unique observations bring vitality and humour to each of her stories, including A First Bible Story Book (available in DK's A First Bible Story Book and A First Book of Prayers), Amazing Grace, A Twist in the Tail, and Song of the Earth.I would use it for students who are moving on to reading larger paragraphs and expanding their vocabulary.
