From the author

 

Summary: 

This is a funny book that will get kids laughing and interested in fairy tales.  The book has an introduction to three fairy tales, but leaves them hanging.

Rating:

I just absolutely love this book.  It is so funny.  The teacher can use so many different voice inflections to make it even more interesting to the students.  J

Reading:

I would use this to reinforce manners and to introduce the class’s unit on fairy tales.

Students would do a timeline of events in the story.

  

Additional uses:

Just for fun you could incorporate the chicken dance.
